In addition, we also supported a Visio XML Drawing format (VDX) so developers could modify the contents of a file outside Visio. In Visio 2010, we introduced two formats: the Visio Web Drawing (VDW) and Visio Workflow Interchange (VWI) formats.
It also gives us a chance to create a single unified file format that replaces the secondary file formats that Visio has created over the years.
The new file format allows us to provide a number of new features, such as co-authoring and the ability to view your diagrams natively in the browser using Visio Services in the new Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft SharePoint Online in Microsoft Office 365. For example, it was difficult for third parties to access and extract data from the binary format for use outside of Visio.įor the new Visio, we introduced an XML-based file format to provide new capabilities in Visio and improve interoperability with other applications. Most notably, the primary format was binary, which limited both the information stored in the file and how easily IT professionals and developers could work with it. For most users, this was great: files could be shared easily between these three versions of Visio.
