Microsoft has shared a roundup of updates made to its Microsoft 365 app that launched in November 2022. The app provides a central hub for accessing Office apps, shared documents, meetings, and personalized content.

Microsoft introduced its new Microsoft 365 app to replace the all-in-one Office apps on Windows, mobile, and the office.com portal. It comes with a couple of new features like content templates, a personalized feed of ongoing projects and collaborators, as well as new ways to access content.

The Microsoft 365 app has added a new feature that allows users to assign private tags to files in the “My Content” section. This feature helps users organize their files for easier retrieval of important information. It is available to both desktop and web users. Google Drive for work or schools has a similar labels feature, though Google only allows admins to create these labels. Dropbox users can also apply tags to individual folders, files, or in bulk.
