Great question. This news just came to our county last week. The online storage for the Add-on interactivity and data storage is going away. It is recommended that we download our presentations as soon as possible (Nov 20 for us) Here is a link I found. I'm not able to open it here at school, but hopefully it gives more information:

Microsoft says it is working on something so we don't lose these features. I guess we'll see.....

We have an end date in Australia of early next year. Already migrated to Stream but missing the analytics component as a secondary teacher using flipped learning. Also for those who use Mix snip, this is end of life. Can we include the recording feature in inkspace PLEASE. This is an invaluable and easy way to provide feedback.

  I agree Analytics are useful and not yet in the alternative.
  +1 to for using the recording feature in Ink Workspace - a great idea. Many teachers I work with loved using Snip for quick feedback with ink and audio.
