It’s easy to work with files of other formats in draw.io.
One of the more common diagramming formats, especially used in large companies, is the .vsdx format (Visio). Because not everyone in the company has access to this diagramming tool, they can use draw.io to open and edit and .vsdx diagrams.
draw.io for Confluence is an excellent alternative when you don’t want to have to purchase licenses for the popular (and expensive) desktop tool!
Importing a .vsdx file
Note: Only .vsdx files saved from Visio itself are supported.
- In draw.io click File > Import from > Device (alternatively, simply drag and drop the .vsdx file from your local device onto the canvas).
- Select your .vsdx file and click Open.
- Your diagram will be shown in the drawing area and it’s ready to be edited.
Use the menu to import a file.
Or, a quicker way is to simply drag the file onto the drawing area.
The imported .vsdx file is ready to be edited!
Use draw.io for Confluence, and everyone in your company can view and edit diagrams — no additional licenses needed.
