Hello agustinbracamonte
Here's a https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/academic/compare-office-365-education-plans?activetab=tab:primaryr1 that goes over the different plans for Office 365 Education. At the bottom of the Office 365 Education page, there is a https://www.microsoft.com/education/products/office that should help answer your questions.

Hi,
I've made this post and submitted it many times through feedback on the app itself but never got fixed nor did it receive any attention.
Office beta/insider on Android should stop asking to save a duplicate file somewhere else before editing Word files or annotating PDFs, really a big problem.
please either remove this requirement or add an option in the settings to disable this.
this isn't an expected behavior. on Desktop/Mac when you want to annotate a PDF or edit an Office file, you're not required nor asked to save your file somewhere else, make a duplicate of it, before doing editing and annotating.
it makes it hard to maintain a tidy file manager, also creates unneeded files as we have to make duplicate content all the time.
we need to be able to edit the same file and save our changes to the same file, just like on desktop.
if needed, convert the file from read-only to editable mode automatically, without asking the user to do this manually, and never the need for creating duplicate content on phone.
MicrosoftHotCakeX ,
sorry for the delay, I've been researching this issue for the past week with the engineering team. They just let me know this morning that the fix has been checked in and it's expected to be rolled out to 100% of the general audience near the last week of March if all goes as expected. So, this upcoming update should fix this issue. Please accept my apologies for the frustration that this has been causing you! And, please let me know if you don't see this fix on your device in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks,
Susan
Hi,
the issue with Word files appear to be fixed now, I can't reproduce it anymore, but with PDFs, it's still there.
when I want to draw a line, highlight text etc. Office app asks me to save a copy of the PDF somewhere else, make a duplicate, and then edit it.
here is my Office version
and the prompt that I'm getting when trying to mark up my PDF, by tapping on the pen icon
