SharePoint 2019 on the cards

Microsoft announced another successor in SharePoint world.

 

Planned for release late 2018, this would be the next major release of Office. It is being discussed that Office 2019 will embrace new capabilities for small and medium businesses that are not utilizing the most of Office 365 and new features such as tilt effects, pressure sensitivity and ink replay.

 

Office 2019 will include its regular client applications as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook also the server side versions of SharePoint, Exchange and Skype for Business. Excel in this updated version will have new formulas and charts in place for data analysis. Also, it is said that PowerPoint will bring new morph and zoom animation features.

 

With SharePoint 2019 Microsoft is introducing a new Admin Center, comprising graphs to show usage data also messages that tell users which features have been added or removed from your specific content. Also introducing a Migration tool to quickly migrate list and libraries easily to newer versions with less complexity.

 

The preview edition of SharePoint Server 2019 is estimated to be available by mid 2018.

    SharePoint Online is already running a more recent version than anything on-prem. I imagine SharePoint 2019 is just catching up with stuff we been using for a while in Office 365 as well as supporting additional scenarios like hybrid.  A few more details https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ronalg/2017/10/03/long-live-sharepoint-server-sp2019-tap/.

    When will SharePoint online upgrade to 2019? Will the SharePoint site link be changed after the upgrade? This is my concern.

      • Cian is totally correct...SPO is running always latest bits of the platform and we can say that each OnPrem version released by Microsoft since SP 2016 is just a branch of what is already running in SPO
