📢 Microsoft improves coauthoring error recovery experience in MS Word

Improved coauthoring error recovery experience

Collaborating with others while working in Word is a vital productivity tool for many users, and disruptions can be extremely frustrating. We’ve now developed an improved recovery experience to quickly restore users back to a connected state after experiencing coauthoring errors. This automatic refresh synchronizes all changes among different authors, so you’re seeing the most up-to-date document possible.

Along with this, Microsoft also fixed an issue in Microsoft Word build 14907.20000 that caused the previous build of the app to close unexpectedly when selecting "Go to Comment" for the first comment in a document.

Microsoft Office Version 2202 (Build 14907.20000) also adds a new feature for the Microsoft Outlook client for Windows, which will now allow you to send emails from a proxy account. To make it available to users, your tenant admin must enable this feature.

Dropdown lists are a handy way to make data entry and validation more efficient in Excel. In the latest Office update, Microsoft added AutoComplete functionality, which automatically compares the text typed in a cell to all items in the dropdown list and displays only the items that match. This will help you in spending less time scrolling through lists, dealing with data validation errors, or writing complex code to handle this task.
