Over the last few months, the Office team has been consistently releasing new updates for Office Insiders on Android devices. Two weeks ago, the last update brought more colors, IRM-protected documents support and more goodies to Android users, but today the Office team has released a new Insider build which should bump the apps to version 16.0.7030.1014.
While Microsoft shared a detailed changelog, we compared it to the previous one and found that it’s a nearly exact copy, as some items are missing such as the “annotate with ink” feature. However, you can still find the new changelog below:
Excel:
- View IRM-protected spreadsheets: Now you can read spreadsheets protected with information rights management (IRM)
