Hi Sanjay,
The feature is still only available to Office Insiders at this time. 100% of Insiders Fast should see the feature, while we are still only enabled for 50% of Insiders Slow (aka Monthly Channel - Targeted) right now. More information on the Insiders program can be found at http://aka.ms/officeinsider.
If you have previously used the feature as an Insider and are unable to see it on your new computer, I recommend verifying that you have signed in with the same account that you registered for Office Insiders. If you want to guarantee the feature appears, you will need to join Insiders Fast due to the 100% availability there that I mentioned above.
Thanks!
James

Thanks. I understand now why it was not showing unless I am on the Insiders channel.
It has been 2 months since the post here - > which is why I thought it was ready now.
