What is new in Q4:

In Q4, the main focus was on improving the task pane experience and version control.

‍

Improved task pane structure and search

One of the major update in Q4 was the refinement of the task pane within PowerPoint for a simplified and streamlines user experience.

‍

What did we focus on?

• Making it more dynamic and user friendly for a streamlined process
• Enhancement of the functionality of the quick search within the task pane
• Simplification and reorganization of the task pane interface
• Consistency across M365 applications (PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Outlook)

‍‍

Enhanced version control for PowerPoint

With this new update you can always track the status of your slides and presentation within the task pane, with relevant actions tailored to your access and your file's state.

‍

What did we focus on?

• Simplification and clarification of the version control process and Ui
• Providing additional information and overview of the changes made to the active slide and presentation
• Additional warnings before uploading slides or presentations to the library

‍

‍

Version control for Word and Excel files

We’ve added version control for Word and Excel to notify users when a document or sheet is outdated, ensuring they always work with the most up-to-date files.

‍

What did we focus on?

• Warnings/notifications when a file you are working on is outdated
• Ability to quickly insert the latest approved file
• Ability to check if the file you are working on is linked to the library
