As announced in January, Microsoft on Monday announced the release of IT Pro and Developer Preview version of Office 2016. The firm also announced the release of the technical preview of Skype for Business.
Microsoft says the Office 2016 IT Pro and Developer Preview still misses out on some of features and that consumers should look out for the final version of Office 2016, which will be shipping "later this year." Office 2016 has been available in private preview for a few months now, but has now been made available to commercial Office 365 customers.
The Redmond-based tech firm detailed some of the features included in the Office 2016 IT Pro and Developer Preview. It has added Data Loss Protection (DLP) classification and policies for Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. DLP was previously limited to Exchange, Outlook, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint services.
As Microsoft explains, DLP allows IT admins to create and manage policies for content authoring and document sharing. As for end users, they will see policy tips or sharing restrictions whenever the policy is violated. A number of technical improvements have also been made in the Outlook application found in the IT Pro and Developer Preview of Office 2016, namely multi-factor authentication, improved email delivery performance, lean storage footprint, improved search, foreground network calls, and the new MAPI-HTTP protocol.
Also new with the Office 2016 preview are new deployment features for IT professionals, like better network traffic management, flexible update management, simplified activation management, and enhanced distribution management.
