Visio for the Web

Visio for the web is a new way to view, edit, and share Visio diagrams in a web browser. 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. It's simple to create first-class diagrams with commonly-used diagram types and rich shape sets. To collaborate with team members and stakeholders, you can share the diagram with others.
