Office 2019 pro plus insider questions
I've enrolled my Office 2019 pro plus in insider channel, but I will be only receiving sorta the experimental security updates, right? no new features from the insider builds?

Hi HotCakeX
That's my understanding. https://insider.office.com/en-us/handbook/test-features mentions that 'most' new features require an active 365 subscription to receive them, so it does imply that non-365 subscribers may get features, but I would think this unlikely. 365 is sold as being continually developed, while 2019 is a snapshot of feature development that is effectively a frozen point from 365 development.
- Hi, yes I thought so,
I didn't know Office 2019 pro plus could be joined to insider channels

but today i suddenly searched for "insider" in Word's top search area and noticed there is an option for it. now i'm on version 2002, the updates download time was rather quick so I think there wasn't so much stuff added to it.
anyway I'm okay with insider updates even if they are just security ones.
that said, I actually think I got some new features, because I'm checking here

and it's talking about "saving objects as pictures" which is supposedly a new thing in Word version 2001 (January 10, 2020) and I have it now on Word 2019 (version 2002 insider fast)
