Note: Creating and editing UML diagrams on Visio for the web requires a Visio Plan 1 or Visio Plan 2 license, which is purchased separately from Microsoft 365. For more information, contact your Microsoft 365 admin. If your admin has turned on "self-service purchasing," you can buy a license for Visio yourself. For more details, see Self-service purchase FAQ.

A package is the basic organizing element of a UML model. It provides a namespace for the grouped elements. Each element belongs to only one package, and one package can be nested in another. You can create new packages or add elements or views (diagrams) to packages by right-clicking icons in the tree view.
