Will Office updates be separated out and configurable to channels other than "Monthly Enterprise Channel"? It is hard to test this within the IT team, because we need to stay on "Current Channel (Preview)".

All Autopatch devices will have M365 Apps set to the Monthly Enterprise Channel, and as we approach GA, we will be introducing deferral periods so each ring will get the update available in that channel over a staggered time frame. But the different rings would not have different channels at this time. If this is something you think is needed, let us know! https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-autopatch/operate/windows-autopatch-microsoft-365-apps-enterprise

    Having the option to set the M365 Apps update channel is definitely a requirement for us. Intune > Apps > Windows allows us to install M365 Apps with different update channels, but Autopatch overrides that. If our internal tech evangelists don't have access to the M365 Apps features ahead of the general population, they can't do preemptive training or head off potential issues.
