"What's new" is disabled on Slow Ring

For the latest two builds 1702.7870.2013 & 2020 i have disabled What's New button in the File->Account block.

 

It works with other O365 applications. Registry keys for the Excel in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Common\WhatsNew are similar to ones for other apps.

 

Does someone else notice the same behavior?

 

Thank you

excel

      Hi Sachin,

       

      Thank you, but that was not the question where to find the information, that's about does the button work or not.

    Hi Sergei,

     

    the button is disabled in my version (7870.2020) too and also in other apps such as Word and PowerPoint. I guess - really guess - because of no new features in these versions compared to the previous builds.

     

    Best,

    Mourad

      Hi Mourad,

       

      Thank you, thus some bug, will wait for another updates.

       

      However, bit different behaviour compare to you - in my other applications it works. I'm not sure, but it shall work in any case, even if no new/updated feature(s) with the latest build, this button just shows the latest available What's New.
