explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft 365 Apps are receiving updates, specifically for those using the Current Channel. Think of this update process like getting a new version of your favorite app on your smartphone. Just as your phone apps often update automatically to provide new features or fix bugs, Microsoft 365 Apps can do the same. If your settings allow automatic updates, the apps will refresh themselves without you needing to do anything. It's like having a self-cleaning oven; it takes care of itself.
For those who prefer to manage updates manually, it's similar to choosing when to install updates on your phone. You can download the latest version and decide when to implement it across your devices. This gives you control over the timing and ensures that everything fits into your schedule without unexpected interruptions.
For more specific details about what's included in this update, you can refer to the release notes provided by Microsoft. These notes are like the detailed instructions or features list that come with a new gadget, helping you understand what changes to expect and how they might benefit your work.
