Nowadays, even though you may not be in the same room as your audience, we believe your flow to present should be as easy and intuitive — clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint is the only step you need to take to present the deck in your Teams meeting! PRESENT IN TEAMS FROM POWERPOINT >       Preview Features for Insiders   Office for Web: Add Drawings to your documents in Word for the web One of the most requested features in Word for the web is the ability to insert and edit text boxes and shapes within a document, as well as to annotate on top of pictures with ink. With the new Drawing feature, you now have the ability to create and insert standalone diagrams comprised of shapes, text, ink, and pictures, which opens up a whole new world of possibilities for visually enriching your content! ADD DRAWINGS TO YOUR DOCUMENTS IN WORD > Office for Mac: Dark Mode in Word Earlier this year, we released Dark Mode in Word for Windows, and we're thrilled to bring the feature to Word for Mac. As we log long hours on our screens, it has become increasingly important to reduce eye strain and accommodate light sensitivity. Therefore, we've extended the Black Office theme to now include your document canvas as well. TRY DARK MODE IN WORD > Office for Mac: Pin messages to the top of your Inbox in Outlook We've heard your feedback, Insiders! You can now keep track of messages you need to go back to or ones you'd like to save as a reminder by pinning them to the top of your Inbox. LEARN MORE ABOUT PINNING YOUR MESSAGES > Office for Windows: Lock objects in PowerPoint Have you modified objects without meaning to while working on a presentation? By locking objects such as shapes, icons, pictures, 3D models, connectors, and ink, you can now ensure that there won't be any mishaps. GET THE DETAILS ABOUT LOCKING OBJECTS IN POWERPOINT >       Your Feedback in Action   If you're looking for the best way to give us feedback, Office Insiders, check out this blog post with tons of tips.

In Outlook for Windows, we fixed an issue that caused users to see copies of all of their sent items in their Outbox folder. In Excel for Mac, we fixed an issue where it could be slow to scroll through certain sheets that had error checking enabled.
