What's new and improved in Microsoft Office build 14217

With the latest Microsoft Office Insiders Build 14217.20002 released to the insiders in the Windows Beta Channel, Microsoft adds a new improvement to the Microsoft Outlook client. It now improves the functionality for default and mandatory labeling in Outlook.

 

Outlook clients that use built-in labeling will now also enforce the existing PowerShell label policy advanced settings DisableMandatoryInOutlook and OutlookDefaultLabel, previously supported only by the Azure Information Protection unified labeling client. If you have already configured these settings for your organization, they will now be enforced in Outlook clients.

 

Apart from this new improvement, Microsoft fixed an issue in Outlook client where hyperlinks, including digits, would be broken when composing a message in a right-to-left language.
