I do support on the MS Answers forum/community. We constantly get this question.

Your excuse is WORTHLESS!
All we users can see is:
- Version number,
- build number and
- Channel
In the rest of the development world that would be enough information to uniquely identify what features we should be able to see in our applications. Different features, different build number!
.
If you want to play silly b**gers with "feature flags", fine. But YOU MUST EXPOSE/DISPLAY those flags (with publicly available explanation documentation) TO USERS! At the very least give us documentation telling us what registry keys to look at!
.
"You" (generically MS (mis)management) are obviously oblivious to the waste of user and user corporate time (and money) and the angst you are inflicting on your users!
(have you gotten the idea that I feel strongly about this issue?)

Fix this problem in ALL Office/"Microsoft 365" (stupid name change, a rant for another time) applications! Display this/these "flag(s)" in the File menu > Account command > About information.
PLEASE!
