Georges Krinker and I are excited to announce that the feature for sharing a document to Open in Review Mode Only is now available to 100% of our Production Users!

 

We would love to hear your feedback on the feature or how it might have landed in your organization! 

When users share a Word document, you’ll find a new option in the Link Settings page to enable the Open in Review mode feature.

This feature is only supported for Word on the web at this time. Users who open links with these settings in the Word desktop app will see a bar across the top of the client letting them open the file in Word on the web to leave behind tracked changes and comments.

 

Let us know if you have questions, thoughts, would want to see a certain improvement or think it would be specially useful for certain departments in roles in your organization.

Thanks,
