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.

Microsoft notes that users can record voice notes, sign PDF documents, respond to comments, and convert pictures into data directly on mobile devices. The Microsoft 365 web app has added new Graph connectors, allowing users to explore third-party content seamlessly within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Lastly, Microsoft plans to discontinue its Microsoft 365 browser extension on January 15th, 2024. The extension allowed users to quickly access Office apps and recent documents on the web without downloading the desktop applications. Microsoft advises customers to uninstall the extension and opt for the Microsoft 365 web app as an alternative for file and document management.
