Microsoft has announced that it will create a light version of its Visio diagram software for Microsoft 365 so that users can quickly create and visualize their processes, data and more business.
Visio has been available for a long time as an independent application that users who need to create intricate diagrams can buy through a subscription or as a single purchase. However, due to its specialized nature, the software is quite expensive, if you buy directly at $ 280 for Visio Standard 2019 and $ 530 for Visio Professional 2019.
Fortunately, Microsoft’s subscription plans for Visio are much more affordable at $ 5 per user per month for your Visio 1 and $ 15 plan per month per month for your Visio 2 plan, which also includes additional integrations with Microsoft 365.
Although in a new blog publication, the software giant has revealed its decision to make an absolutely free Visio light version for all Microsoft Subscribers 365 that will begin to deploy in July of this year.
Creating diagrams with Visio
With the next Microsoft Visio application for Microsoft 365, users can create diagrams by choosing from a variety of different templates from the online office. The web application will offer many popular diagram templates, including basic flow diagrams and process diagrams that will help users start quickly.
There will also be a perfect integration with other Microsoft products, including Microsoft computers so that Microsoft 365 users can work together on the diagrams and share them while videoconference. The diagrams can even be exported as JPEG or PNG image files and are added to Word documents or PowerPoint presentations.
If you are using Visio with Excel, you can also view a large volume of data to obtain quick information from it.
It is likely that we listen more about the new light version of Visio included with Microsoft 365 once we approach your release date in July.
