Word Resume Assistant no UK availability?

Can a Microsoft person explain why there is no availability for the Resume Wizard in the UK? https://support.office.com/en-us/article/what-s-new-for-office-insiders-c152d1e2-96ff-4ce9-8c14-e74e13847a24. This DID appear for me and then disappeared again :-( Here’s a hint in the UK English is our official language!

    Please to see CV Assistant is restored today in the latest Word updates!
  • Thank you for your interest in Resume Assistant / CV Assistant!   For now this feature is only available for English and in a limited number of markets; please refer to this help article which lists the current availability.   We have been testing in different markets, and plan to roll out and re-enable to more in the future but the timeline is not yet decided.   We’ll make sure to update the help article as soon as we add more language/market support.  Looking forward to your feedback!

      Hi, any updates on this? When will the Resume Assistant be available in the UK?

      Thank you Katie for your reply. Hoping the UK as English speaking countries can be enabled soon.

      This is what I had access to and it disappeared. I’m on Targeted Release so perhaps it will turn up eventually!

        This was just published - https://blogs.office.com/en-us/2018/02/07/craft-a-compelling-resume-with-resume-assistant-powered-by-linkedin-now-available/.  Still, doesn't mention UK availability :(
