Excel Online - same tenant, same version numbers different features ? How is that possible
- Apr 14, 2021
Erik, in subscription model functionality is deployed gradually, both for online and desktop versions. Build number is only means that this or that functionality is included into build code, but that doesn't mean it switched on for everyone who has this build. For desktop version it is deployed by channels and people on same channel have functionality one by one, it takes some time to add everyone.
For Online version first who receives new functionality are targeted users which could be assigned by tenant admin. After that all users in same tenant shall receive same functionality, again that could be some delay from one to another user. At least that my understanding how it works.
If significant delay it's better if admins will contact support with an issue, all users in tenant but targeted shall have the same functionality after some waiting period.

many thanks for your information. Though Person 1 is a targeted User set via Admin Center ... that was then our thinking to as we have digged deeper.
Later we included Person 2 also in the target but I case we have to wait until thinks kicks up. After 24 hours features are still not available.
I didn't know that this diverse is not visible via the Build/Version Number that is why I was confused. This is much clearer in the Desktop Apps I think.
Anyhow ... thx again for clarification.
Greetings
Erik
