Visio online download as PDF
It would be extremely useful to be able to download a PDF file from Visio online. This function should also be possible via a share link to the Visio file. Here's a use case:
I want to share a Visio grid with others inside and outside my organization. This way, when I make changes, they just go to the same link every time to see the most up to date version. Then, if they want to download the file, they can download as a PDF and print or do whatever else they want with it. They also may not have…

Enable more basic edit function between files - such as copy and paste!
Visio online is really not very useful as is. It does not show basic functions, such as gridlines, to help line up content. It does not allow basic 'cut and paste' from one Visio document to another (for creating similar but other diagrams), it does not allow cut and paste of images to a Word document (so to utility of the whole software is about zero). I really do not understand what value this product has - as is, it is rather in-useful... (Also, it does not save properly. I lost a file that I spent much time on, because…

Enable viewing multiple hyperlinks through Visio Online
Visio allows adding multiple hyperlinks to a single shape (right click on shape and select hyperlink). The links are displayed in the right click window and user can select the link of interest to view.
The Visio Online viewer is not showing hyperlinks at all while Acrobat Reader is able to show at least one of the links when viewing a PDF copy of the Visio file.
Would be good to allow users to see all of the hyperlinks defined for any shape on diagram through Visio Online.
4 votesThank you for your feedback. I’m glad to inform you that now you can easily access multiple hyperlinks in Visio web view mode and also edit those links and add new ones using Visio editor for the web.

Please add networking shapes to visio online. This is a great platform to collaborate on high level design details for complex IP networks!
It would be a huge help to have shapes or icons for high level IP network components. Having common components of modern networks would be HUGE!! Router, switch, firewall, load balancer, fiber, Ethernet, SD-WAN components, Data centers and company HQ and branch icons would be awesome!

Remove embed border
Embedded Visio files currently have a thin black line bordering them. Can this be removed? Many of the locations that we embed to have the same color background as the Visio file does, so this is unnecessary.

Make it possible to de-select one or all shapes from the API.
Currently there's no option to deselect all shapes. Deselecting one shape at a time will automatically select another one. In our scenario we would like to 'reset' it programmatically to have no selection at all, like when it's in initialized state.
While we use the Visio embedded in our application we would like to use both navigating from within and outside the visio. We would like to keep the Visio selection in sync with the application itself to give the users a uniform experience whatever the way they navigate.
15 votesShape can be deselected by using shape.select=false.
