Applicants will need iPad Minis, iPads and iPad Pros running iOS 9 or higher and the app will feature:

  • View files from OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint, or files received as email attachments
  • The Pan and Zoom experience is optimized for a small touch screen
  • Turn the visibility of layers on or off
  • Copy the current view of a Visio diagram as an image and paste it in another app
  • Share a file as a link or attachment
  • Find text in a shape
  • AirPrint a Visio file

The Preview should be seeded to testers around August-September 2016 with the app set for general availability as a free download in the near future.
