Office Insider for Windows version 2209 release notes

Build 15606.20002 (August 12, 2022)

Word

• Assign Tasks: You can facilitate collaboration and stay organized by creating and assigning tasks directly from within your Word document using @mentions in comments. The people you assign the tasks to will receive email notifications, letting them know they need to take action. Ready to give it a try? Open an existing document stored on OneDrive or SharePoint. Highlight the text that contains the information you want to comment on, select New Comment, write your comment and type @ followed by the name of the team member you want to tag. Then, press Ctrl + Enter to post your comment and select the Assign to check box to convert your comment into a task.

Office Suite

• User-defined permissions now support domain name restrictions: When you choose a sensitivity label configured for user-defined permissions, they can now use domain names to restrict file access to specific individuals, or to all individuals from that domain. For example, you can specify “[email protected]” or “@example.com,” and permissions will be restricted based on those parameters.
