To utilize the Visio Plan 2 desktop application, upgrade to Office 365 ProPlus. Please note: The Visio Plan 2 desktop application is not compatible with Office 2016. It is also the only way for UW faculty and staff to obtain the Visio desktop app. The Visio Plan 2 license is best for users who need to create professional business and IT diagrams that meet industry standards and can be connected to data. Any additional functionality requires a Visio Plan 2 license. The UW’s standard Office 365 A3 license includes only basic Visio Online functionality, which gives users rights to view Visio diagrams in a web browser. Visio Online users can view and collaborate by sharing diagrams and inserting comments in files uploaded to SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business. It’s simple and easy to create first-class diagrams with commonly used diagram types and rich shape sets. Start with a basic diagram to express common ideas, such as depicting a plan, making a proposal, or describing a sequence of steps in a process. With Visio Online (aka Visio for the web), you can view, edit, and share Visio diagrams on the web. Visio is an application that lets users map processes using a variety of graphical forms.
