Hi kimkischel

Can you explain exactly what components are affected when enabling Targeted Release?

We are looking to enable Targeted Release Organization wide to enable some new features for a SharePoint Online Communication Site. I want to make sure this won't be a drastic change. Our users aren't heavy users of the Office Online or 365 Portal experiences, so I'm not too worried about enabling the latest features.

Thanks!

Did this question ever get answered? I haven't been able to find a good explanation if setting "Targeted for some users" is just Office Pro-Plus or SharePoint, etc.. as explained in the documentation. Seems like it can't possibly be those services (SharePoint, Exchange, etc.) if they're deployed. Joe McGowan kimkischel
