Enhanced admin settings for User Software Page
Starting today, IT admins also have the ability to further customize
the User Software page. Admins now have the option to select the Office
version and update channel (for 2016 apps only) a user can see and
download directly from the Office 365
User Software Page. The changes IT admins make on the Admin Center will
go into effect on February 23, 2016, giving admins the opportunity to
change the default update channel and decide which install links to
expose to their users.
Download and deploy the Deferred Channel build today
We invite you all to download and start using the Deferred Channel
builds within your organization and see for yourself how Office 2016 has
helped millions of users become more productive than ever.
In addition to this very first Deferred Channel build, we’re also
pleased to announce that we will release the next First Release for
Deferred Channel build in the next few weeks. This will be a fully
supported production quality build for testing, with a targeted release
date as a standard build in the Deferred Channel in June 2016. We
encourage you to validate this build against your environment,
applications, add-ins and macros.
We recognize that deploying and validating Office updates has
sometimes been time consuming for IT admins. We believe the enhancements
we have made since the launch of Office 2016 will help reduce the
overall validation process, making it quicker to get these builds into
your users’ hands. We are not done yet; we are continuing to invest more
in our deployment tools in order to further assist IT admins and
developers to validate Office against their environment and
line-of-business applications.
