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, yes I thought so,
I didn't know Office 2019 pro plus could be joined to insider channels
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-insider/is-office-insider-only-for-office-365/td-p/788605
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
https://insider.office.com/en-us/releasenotes/pc/fast
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)

Very interesting HotCakeX
Not sure if it's an oversight on MS's part as all the documentation I've seen (and your post) seemed to confirm that 2019 is just getting security updates. Would be keen to know if you spot further feature updates as time goes on.
