If you are an admin supporting a group of users who could benefit from using Visio Viewer, be aware that it's possible for you to use group policy to configure "Microsoft Edge with IE mode" for your organization. If you create and edit diagrams in a full version of Visio and send those diagrams to someone who doesn't have Visio, that person can use Visio Viewer to view your diagram.

For that, you need a full version of Visio installed. You cannot, however, edit, save, or create a new Visio drawing with Visio Viewer.

With Visio Viewer, you can open, view, or print Visio drawings, even if you don't have Visio installed.
