-
Step 1: Sign in to Microsoft 365 Account

Once you are logged in to Microsoft 365, select Microsoft Visio. Then, open the specific drawing or document you want to add people to. On the upper right of the ribbon, click Share.

Step 3: Send Drawing Link to People
After clicking the Share icon, you will be directed to the Share dialog box. Here, you will enter the email address of the people in your organization or team you want to collaborate with on a particular drawing. A drop-down list will let you choose with whom you want to share the drawing, for example, only the people in your organization with the link can view and edit – after this click Send.

Step 4: Save File to OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online
The last step depends on whether you have already saved the file to OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online.
