We have been hard at work expanding our offerings on insider.office.com to provide you with all of the information you need to get the most out of the Office Insider program. One example is the addition of a “For Business” section, which features deployment instructions specific to Office 365 ProPlus on both Windows and Mac and feature highlights that are most relevant to businesses. CHECK OUT THE OFFICE INSIDER FOR BUSINESS SECTION ON OUR SITE >             Preview Features for Insiders     Office for Windows - Insider: Be more expressive in your presentations by using ink replay in PowerPoint. We’ve heard about all the cool ways people are using ink in their PowerPoint presentations -- anything from adding some extra flair and visual interest, to increasing the effectiveness of your slide content. Previously, the animation of ink on the slides was limited to standard shape animations. Now, you can apply the new Replay or Rewind animations to ink and get the drawing effect directly in your presentations! You can adjust the timing of these animations to be faster or slower to match the experience you want. LEARN MORE ABOUT INK REPLAY IN POWERPOINT > Office for iOS and Android: Dynamic Arrays for mobile. The magic of one formula, many values has come to mobile! iOS and Android Insiders can now use Dynamic Arrays, as well as six related new functions – SORT, UNIQUE, FILTER, SORTBY, SEQUENCE, and RANDARRAY – from their mobile devices! LEARN MORE ABOUT DYNAMIC ARRAYS IN EXCEL > Office for Windows & Mac: Sketchy Shapes. It can be hard to convey to reviewers or colleagues that a work is in progress to your audience without using an obtrusive “DRAFT!” watermark that covers up your work. But what if there was a better way? With Sketchy Shapes, now there is! Apply the Sketchy style to any Office shape, and immediately get that “work in progress” look. Go back to the default style, and you’ve got professional looking slides that are ready to be shared broadly!

Where’s the closest coffee shop? With location suggestions in Outlook, wonder no more! Simply click in the Location field in the meeting invite, and Outlook will suggest meeting rooms for your organization. Start typing, and it will pull up public places from Bing Maps, other locations from your location history, and meeting rooms that fit your criteria! All you have left to do is pick the one that suits your needs! LEARN MORE ABOUT LOCATION SUGGESTIONS IN OUTLOOK > Office for Windows: Recommended Documents. When collaborating with others, it can be hard to stay on top of recent activity that has taken place on shared documents, and tough to decide which documents to pay attention to first. The Recommended Document list puts the most relevant documents to you front-and-center when you open Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Visio, noting the most important activity that has occurred on each of those documents in the upper left corner.
