It will span cloud, email attachments, and local file giving them access to many more documents on the initial Office.com screen. You'll notice a performance improvement in the speed in which they can navigate this large list of content, and includes new real-time filter as you type so you can rapidly narrow the list just by typing a few characters of the title or the people associated with the documents. It has a new All pivot that spans all your content and helps you keep up with important document user activity, as well as a My recent pivot that lets you focus in on just what you've opened. Another pivot is a more modernized, customer requested Favorites that enables marking for easier retrieval and is portable to other endpoints such as your desktop Win32 apps and will be seen as Pinned. More details; Next to each file name is an overflow action menu and can also be enabled via a right-click. It enables opening the file in different ways, sharing the file or obtaining a sharing link for it, adding to your ?Favorite? list, hiding the file if it is more sensitive and you don?t want it showing in your list (hint; unhide using a selection in the Activity column header), or other common actions. |
