summary for non-techies**
Microsoft is updating permission level names in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint within Microsoft 365, changing "Reviewer" to "Restricted Editor," "Co-Author" to "Editor," and "Co-Owner" to "Owner," while maintaining the same permissions, with a preview starting in mid-July 2024 and general availability by late December 2024.
Direct effects for Operations**
User Experience Disruption
The introduction of new names for usage rights groupings may confuse users who are accustomed to the previous terminology, leading to potential misconfigurations of permissions.
