Microsoft has released a new Office Build for Office Insiders on Windows. The new Build 12325.20012 has introduced a couple of new features to Outlook. Another new feature is the ability to switch between multiple panes using a tab UI on the right-hand side of the Office Suite app. Aside from that, it brings plenty of bug fixes. You can read the official changelog below.

Changelog

Feature updates

Outlook

  • Advanced group email settings: This feature helps groups users to customize which emails or events to receive/follow in their inbox.
  • Groups Naming policy: A group naming policy enables the IT admin to standardize and manage the names of groups created by users in the organization. The admin can require a specific prefix and suffix be added to the name for a group when it’s created, and can block specific words from being used. This helps minimize the use of inappropriate words in group names as well as IT manage the representation of groups in their directory. Naming Policy also helps organizations that deploy team sites to categorize them based on department.

Office Suite

  • Tabbed Panes: Now you can switch between multiple panes using a tab UI on the right hand side of the app. The UI will only be visible when you have 2+ panes open.
