Tap for Word and Outlook - where is it?

We are using office current channel 1612 (building 7668.2066). If i go to customise ribbon, i can see under the Insert Tab the Tap/Insert Document Item button, however front end it does not show. Has this functionality been released yet. or do i need new glasses!

    The only one point - not for all, see support.office.com/en-gb/article/Find-and-use-the-content-you-need-when-you-need-without-leaving-Word-860118fc-1f61-41f6-922f-40084a284658?ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB

     

    Also note that the Tap feature is not yet available for Office 365 subscriptions generated in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Great Britain, India, and Japan; regardless of the country you’re working in. We are working on expanding Tap’s availability to these locations in the near term.

    This isn't available in Australia yet. We are on build 7967 - 2139. I can add the "Insert Document Item" command to the ribbon, but it is disabled.

     

    Has anyone heard anything about the rollout plan for this?

      Still no sign of this in Australia. The feature was mentioned in a recent Sway at https://sway.com/PdTMYWv3jDqntB0G?ref=Link&loc=play. Anyone heard anything about rollout to more regions?

    Tanya, we are on build 2064 so far. Don't remember when Tap appeared in the Ribbon - it's here and it works if you have any documents in the cloud.

      Thank you Sergei... we have plenty of documents in the cloud, but still i don't see the icon. Maybe one day it will appear. Thanks for replying.

        IMHO, sometimes new items are missed in the Ribbon if you are not on US SKU. But that's only my guess.

        You may try to find this item in Options->Customize the Ribbon, see the item correct name on the picture
