M365 Changelog: (Updated) Announcing the New Look of Office for the Web

MC452253 – Updated March 14, 2023: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft is excited to announce a new look in Office for the Web. We’ve changed the visuals to give you a clean modern look to help you focus, but nothing has moved. We will start flighting at this date.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 87307

When this will happen:

Standard Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out early May (previously mid-December) and expect to complete rollout by late June (previously late February).

How this will affect your organization:

People will notice the look and feel changes and might have questions if commands moved. Microsoft has not moved location of commands nor changed any icons. Functionality and how you use things will not be affected.

What you need to do to prepare:

There is no action required from you at this time. Microsoft recommends sending this link to your organization for more information and updating any relevant training materials as necessary.
