Greetings from the Visio Team,
We are pleased to announce an earlypreview of the Database Model Diagram (also known as Database Reverse Engineering) as an add-in for Visio, brought to you exclusively by the Office Insider Program.
We are looking for a limited number of participants to give us early feedback on this add-in experience. Listening and learning from our customers is a critical part of our product development. If you have great suggestions, already use Visio or just want to learn more, we encourage you to read on, sign up, and talk to us by posting below.
What will this add-in do?
The Database Model Diagram add-in lets you design a new database model from an existing one, and helps you understand the structure of existing databases, too.
Database models graphically capture and display key database elements - such as tables and views that are related to each other - making it easy to create, consume and share new and existing databases.
How does the preview work?
The preview is open to all levels of Office Insiders, including Insider Slow and Insider Fast. If you are not a part of the Office Insider Program, you can still get access to the preview by signing up.
Is the preview available in many languages?
Currently it is available only in English (EN-*).
How do I send feedback?
You can send in your feedback in the following ways -
I'm new to Visio. Where can I learn more?
We welcome anyone who wants to give our early feature preview a try. Not familiar with Visio? No problem. Take a test drive with A beginner's guide to Visio and Tutorial for Visio 2016 to learn the basics.
I don't have a Visio Pro license; can I still try out the feature preview?
You'll need a Visio Pro for Office 365 subscription to try out the feature preview. Learn more and try Visio Pro for Office 365 from here.
Sincerely,
Visio Product Team
