explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft 365 Apps is receiving updates for users on the Current Channel starting October 1st, 2025. Think of this update process like a car receiving regular maintenance to ensure it runs smoothly and efficiently. If your car is set up to automatically go to the shop when it's time for a tune-up, you don't need to do anything; it will be taken care of for you. Similarly, if your Microsoft 365 Apps are set to update automatically from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN), the updates will be applied without any action on your part.
However, if you prefer to manage the updates yourself, it's like choosing to personally take your car to the mechanic. You can download the latest updates and deploy them at your convenience. This allows you to have more control over when and how the updates are applied, much like scheduling your car maintenance around your personal timetable.
For those interested in the specifics of what's included in this update, you can think of it like a detailed service report from the mechanic, listing all the new features and improvements. You can access this information through the provided release notes links, which offer a comprehensive overview of the changes.
Whether you choose automatic updates or manual management, these updates are designed to enhance the functionality and security of Microsoft 365 Apps, ensuring they continue to meet your needs effectively.
