At the end of June, we announced the visual update of Office, which is designed for Windows 11 but also elevates your experience in Windows 10. This visual update delivers a simple and more coherent experience across the Office apps you depend on so that you can focus on your work more easily.
Visual Update in Office for Windows
For those of you who chose to opt-in to the update early via the Coming Soon feature, we hope you are enjoying the simple and more coherent experience, and we thank you for sharing your questions and suggestions on the design with us. Earlier this month we made the visual update available automatically for 50% of subscription users running Current Channel builds, and Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021, Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021, Microsoft Office Professional 2021, and Microsoft Office Personal 2021 users. Based on the feedback we have received from users so far, we wanted to share information to help you navigate the visual update.
For more detailed descriptions of the Office visual update, scenarios to try and more, please read our official product blog post or check out this Medium.com article written by Sunmin Chung and Rachel Romano to learn more about the design.
How It Works
The visual refresh can easily be turned off or on using the Coming Soon feature, located in the top right corner of the app. In Word, Excel,PowerPoint, or OneNote, simply click the megaphone icon to open the Coming Soon pane, read more about the visual refresh changes, and use the toggle to move between the new and current interface, and apply the setting to all the Office apps.
Coming Soon feature
Coming Soon Feature Availability
The Coming Soon feature is not available in Access, Project, Publisher, or Visio. If you turn on the visual refresh in any of the four apps mentioned above (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote), it will also be available in these four apps.
Although the Coming Soon feature is available in Outlook, it cannot be used to turn the visual refresh on and off. If you turn on the visual refresh in any of the four apps mentioned above (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote), it will also be available in Outlook.
Eventually, we'll remove the option to toggle off the visual refresh, so be sure to try it out now and let us know what you think. We don't always get things right, so we promise to continue to listen and learn. Your feedback is critical to help us refine your experience and make it even better.*
Notable Changes
Office theme: Office now matches your Windows theme by default and all themes have received an update. You can experience the visual refresh in whichever Office theme you prefer, including black (with Word Dark Mode enabled), white, colorful, or dark grey.
Microsoft Word and Windows 11 in Dark Mode
Quick Access Toolbar: It is now hidden by default to make your interface simpler. To display it again, simply right-click the ribbon or click the Ribbon Display Options icon, and then click Show Quick AccessToolbar.
Frequently Asked Questions on the Office Visual Update
1. Why did my theme change?
The new default Office theme is, “Use system setting.” This means you will see the Office White theme if your operating system (OS) is set to Light theme, and Office Black theme if the OS is set to Dark theme. If you had the Colorful theme selected before, your theme will now be set to “Use system setting.” Learn how to change the Office theme here.
2. Do I have to use the same theme for both Windows and Office? How do I change it?
No. You can set one theme in Office and another in Windows, or have Office match the OS theme; it's your call! To set your theme, select File > Account, click the Office Theme dropdown, and then select the theme you want, or select Use system setting to have your Office and Windows themes match. Note: The box will appear empty if you have not set your theme.
3. Microsoft Word’s page background color is dark. How do I make it light?
To change the appearance of the page color when in black theme, go to View > Dark Mode and click on Switch Modes. This will toggle the appearance of the page color between light and dark. This only affects how you view it and does not affect printed colors.
4. What happened to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)?
Here's how to show the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT):
Showing and hiding: We’ve added the ability to hide the QAT. If you’ve never customized your QAT, it will be hidden by default. To show it, select Ribbon Display Options then Show Quick Access Toolbar, or right-click any area of the ribbon and select Show Quick Access Toolbar in the shortcut menu.
Position: By default, the QAT appears below the ribbon. You can also put it above the ribbon by selecting Customize Quick Access Toolbar then select Show Above the Ribbon.
Labels: To help you differentiate commands in the QAT, we now support showing command labels. These can be disabled by clicking Customize Quick Access Toolbar then select Hide Command Labels.
Default commands: The Undo and Redo commands appear on the Home tab. To further customize the ribbon and QAT, use the Ribbon Display Options or Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu. To learn how to customize the Office ribbon and QAT, check out these helpful articles: Customize the ribbon in Office and Customize the Quick Access Toolbar.
5. If I have a customized Quick Access Toolbar (QAT), will it be hidden by default after I install the upcoming update?
No, it will remain intact and will be visible by default. Only QATs that contain default commands such as Undo and Save will be hidden by default. Note that you can choose to hide or change the position of the QAT using its context menu or the ribbon display options menu. You can also choose to show or hide its command labels.
6. I can’t hide Auto Save or Save. Will this be available in the future?
We are listening to your feedback and are planning updates to these controls.
7. How do I pin the ribbon?
To collapse or pin the ribbon, select Ribbon Display Options then Always Show Ribbon to keep the ribbon visible. Or, click on Show Tabs Only to collapse the ribbon. You can also click CTRL + F1 or double-click a ribbon tab to quickly toggle the ribbon state. Learn how to show/hide the Office ribbon here.
8. Where is the Mica glass effect?
We are currently working on adding support for this effect in Office. It is coming in a future update.
9. ____ feature is not updated. When canwe expect updates?
Like with Mica, we are working on updating additional regions and components. Please watch for updates coming in the future.
Known issues
The Disable dark mode checkbox in Microsoft Word does not work when "Use system setting" is selected. Please toggle dark mode from the View tab or switch to Black theme to enable it. Note: Dark mode only affects the document page color and is separate from the Office theme.
The theme picker in Word's options menu has a bug for 64-bit users. Please go to File > Account and click on the Office Theme dropdown to change themes.
The dark grey theme was updated to meet new accessibility color contrast requirements. We're listening to your feedback about the change and we're exploring options to better support theming.
The backstage (i.e.: File menu) is not yet updated, but will be coming in a future update.
The Mica background effect has not yet been added to our apps, but will be coming in a future update for Windows 11 users.
Availability
This visual update became available automatically for some Current Channel users on Windows 10 running version 2110 and build 14527.20226 or later. If you don't see the update, you will need to restart any Office app in order to see the visual refresh. Otherwise, if you do not see the megaphone icon in the top right corner (per the above instructions) then the update is not available to you yet. If you are using Windows 11, the update is available to you. You will need to restart any Office app in order to see the visual refresh.

My experience with this Visual Refresh with the dark grey theme has been very frustrating. I have a new Surface Pro 8 running Windows 11 that I tried to connect to an external monitor, but the grey color in office apps (e.g. Outlook) was far too dark (appeared almost black on an external monitor) and the unusually high contrast made it almost unusable. This seemed very strange to me, because I was previously using a laptop running Windows 10 with the dark grey theme, on which I love the subtle different shades of grey--apparently that laptop did not have the visual refresh enabled (which I did not realize until a few minutes ago). I also noticed the office background is not visible on the SP8/Win11 with the Visual Refresh enabled. I tried to change the office background (I normally use Circuit), but regardless of which one I chose, it was not visible with the Visual Refresh enabled. Since I did not even know about the Visual Refresh, I thought something was seriously wrong with my Surface Pro 8 or Windows 11 settings, since everything looked so dark and high contrast in Office apps. I thought somehow I had a high contrast mode enabled, but that was not the case. I kept looking through the different settings in Windows 11 and in Office, such as personalization, color, office theme, office background, etc. and was having no luck, but I could see that clearly things looked very different on these two computers. It took me about 45 minutes to find out that this issue was caused by this "Visual Refresh." In conclusion, I think that 1) this visual refresh is terrible with the dark grey theme, and 2) the visual refresh seems incompatible with office backgrounds (they are invisible when the visual refresh is on), and 3) most users will not know that this visual refresh has occurred, and may therefore think something is wrong with their system. I strongly recommend making this a choice that is in the office settings rather than in the "Coming Soon" and to ask the user if they want to try it.
Has the Visual Refresh officially been released yet for Office Professional 2021 (non-LTSC)? Or is it still a "Coming Soon" feature for this version of Office?
This whole situation with visual updates to Office is so puzzling and confusing. Same happened 4 years ago when they introduced this new "drawn" design to Office buttons/UI. Then it also was updating partially. Like my Outlook and Word had new icons, but Access doesn't and others were not getting same update.
Now with this refresh. It changed for me on my main work laptop in December. But the secondary laptop that i use occasionally, it still has old visuals (no new titlebar, old scrollbars). I use it not that often as main one, but still, it is getting every monthly Office 365 update (monthly channel) and it still doesn't get the refresh 5 months after the announcement. Same account, same org. This is abhorrent planning and deployment strategy by MS. Not surprising though. Most MS deployments are like that.
My Office 2021 new install suddenly got the new visual. My other PC (with existing Office 2021) does not. They are both on version 2203 (16.0.15028.20160).
If you really insist on getting the new visual, you'll need to modify your registry.
Thanks for the update Kori_Loomis - The release note of the version are usually updated on the same day as its released, is there a way to look at the tentative timelines to see when this feature be available in MEC channel probably on Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365 otherwise, its a guesswork for the users. Coming Soon is now available in recent MEC version:2201 (Build 14827.20220) as per the release notes. Would the 'Try the new experience' toggle switch be available in that now?

Learn all about the visual refresh to Office desktop apps
","body":"
At the end of June, we announced the visual update of Office, which is designed for Windows 11 but also elevates your experience in Windows 10. This visual update delivers a simple and more coherent experience across the Office apps you depend on so that you can focus on your work more easily.
\n
\n
Visual Update in Office for Windows
\n
\n
For those of you who chose to opt-in to the update early via the Coming Soon feature, we hope you are enjoying the simple and more coherent experience, and we thank you for sharing your questions and suggestions on the design with us. Earlier this month we made the visual update available automatically for 50% of subscription users running Current Channel builds, and Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021, Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021, Microsoft Office Professional 2021, and Microsoft Office Personal 2021 users. Based on the feedback we have received from users so far, we wanted to share information to help you navigate the visual update.
\n
\n
For more detailed descriptions of the Office visual update, scenarios to try and more, please read our official product blog post or check out this Medium.com article written by Sunmin Chung and Rachel Romano to learn more about the design.
\n
\n
\n
\n
How It Works
\n
\n
The visual refresh can easily be turned off or on using the Coming Soon feature, located in the top right corner of the app. In Word, Excel,PowerPoint, or OneNote, simply click the megaphone icon to open the Coming Soon pane, read more about the visual refresh changes, and use the toggle to move between the new and current interface, and apply the setting to all the Office apps.
\n
\n
Coming Soon feature
\n
\n
Coming Soon Feature Availability
\n
\n
\n
The Coming Soon feature is not available in Access, Project, Publisher, or Visio. If you turn on the visual refresh in any of the four apps mentioned above (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote), it will also be available in these four apps.
\n
Although the Coming Soon feature is available in Outlook, it cannot be used to turn the visual refresh on and off. If you turn on the visual refresh in any of the four apps mentioned above (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote), it will also be available in Outlook.
\n
Eventually, we'll remove the option to toggle off the visual refresh, so be sure to try it out now and let us know what you think. We don't always get things right, so we promise to continue to listen and learn. Your feedback is critical to help us refine your experience and make it even better.*
\n
\n
Notable Changes
\n
\n
\n
Office theme: Office now matches your Windows theme by default and all themes have received an update. You can experience the visual refresh in whichever Office theme you prefer, including black (with Word Dark Mode enabled), white, colorful, or dark grey.
\n
\n
\n
Microsoft Word and Windows 11 in Dark Mode
\n
\n
Quick Access Toolbar: It is now hidden by default to make your interface simpler. To display it again, simply right-click the ribbon or click the Ribbon Display Options icon, and then click Show Quick AccessToolbar.
\n
\n
\n
Frequently Asked Questions on the Office Visual Update
\n
\n
1. Why did my theme change?
\n
The new default Office theme is, “Use system setting.” This means you will see the Office White theme if your operating system (OS) is set to Light theme, and Office Black theme if the OS is set to Dark theme. If you had the Colorful theme selected before, your theme will now be set to “Use system setting.” Learn how to change the Office theme here.
\n
\n
2. Do I have to use the same theme for both Windows and Office? How do I change it?
\n
No. You can set one theme in Office and another in Windows, or have Office match the OS theme; it's your call!

\n
To change the appearance of the page color when in black theme, go to View > Dark Mode and click on Switch Modes. This will toggle the appearance of the page color between light and dark. This only affects how you view it and does not affect printed colors.
\n
\n
4. What happened to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)?
\n
\n
\n
\n
Here's how to show the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT):
\n
\n
Showing and hiding: We’ve added the ability to hide the QAT. If you’ve never customized your QAT, it will be hidden by default. To show it, select Ribbon Display Options then Show Quick Access Toolbar, or right-click any area of the ribbon and select Show Quick Access Toolbar in the shortcut menu.
\n
Position: By default, the QAT appears below the ribbon. You can also put it above the ribbon by selecting Customize Quick Access Toolbar then select Show Above the Ribbon.
\n
Labels: To help you differentiate commands in the QAT, we now support showing command labels. These can be disabled by clicking Customize Quick Access Toolbar then select Hide Command Labels.
\n
Default commands: The Undo and Redo commands appear on the Home tab. To further customize the ribbon and QAT, use the Ribbon Display Options or Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu. To learn how to customize the Office ribbon and QAT, check out these helpful articles: Customize the ribbon in Office and Customize the Quick Access Toolbar.
\n
\n
\n
5. If I have a customized Quick Access Toolbar (QAT), will it be hidden by default after I install the upcoming update?
\n
No, it will remain intact and will be visible by default. Only QATs that contain default commands such as Undo and Save will be hidden by default. Note that you can choose to hide or change the position of the QAT using its context menu or the ribbon display options menu. You can also choose to show or hide its command labels.
\n
\n
6. I can’t hide Auto Save or Save. Will this be available in the future?
\n
We are listening to your feedback and are planning updates to these controls.
\n
\n
7. How do I pin the ribbon?
\n
To collapse or pin the ribbon, select Ribbon Display Options then Always Show Ribbon to keep the ribbon visible. Or, click on Show Tabs Only to collapse the ribbon. You can also click CTRL + F1 or double-click a ribbon tab to quickly toggle the ribbon state. Learn how to show/hide the Office ribbon here.
\n
\n
8. Where is the Mica glass effect?
\n
We are currently working on adding support for this effect in Office. It is coming in a future update.
\n
\n
9. ____ feature is not updated. When canwe expect updates?
\n
Like with Mica, we are working on updating additional regions and components. Please watch for updates coming in the future.
\n
\n
Known issues
\n
\n
\n
The Disable dark mode checkbox in Microsoft Word does not work when \"Use system setting\" is selected. Please toggle dark mode from the View tab or switch to Black theme to enable it. Note: Dark mode only affects the document page color and is separate from the Office theme.
\n
The theme picker in Word's options menu has a bug for 64-bit users. Please go to File > Account and click on the Office Theme dropdown to change themes.
\n
The dark grey theme was updated to meet new accessibility color contrast requirements. We're listening to your feedback about the change and we're exploring options to better support theming.
\n
The backstage (i.e.: File menu) is not yet updated, but will be coming in a future update.
\n
The Mica background effect has not yet been added to our apps, but will be coming in a future update for Windows 11 users.
\n
\n
\n
Availability
\n
\n
This visual update became available automatically for some Current Channel users on Windows 10 running version 2110 and build 14527.20226 or later.

*Updated 12/3/2021.
","body@stringLength":"18902","rawBody":"
At the end of June, we announced the visual update of Office, which is designed for Windows 11 but also elevates your experience in Windows 10. This visual update delivers a simple and more coherent experience across the Office apps you depend on so that you can focus on your work more easily.
\n
\n
Visual Update in Office for Windows
\n
\n
For those of you who chose to opt-in to the update early via the Coming Soon feature, we hope you are enjoying the simple and more coherent experience, and we thank you for sharing your questions and suggestions on the design with us. Earlier this month we made the visual update available automatically for 50% of subscription users running Current Channel builds, and Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021, Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021, Microsoft Office Professional 2021, and Microsoft Office Personal 2021 users. Based on the feedback we have received from users so far, we wanted to share information to help you navigate the visual update.
\n
\n
For more detailed descriptions of the Office visual update, scenarios to try and more, please read our official product blog post or check out this Medium.com article written by Sunmin Chung and Rachel Romano to learn more about the design.
\n
\n
\n
\n
How It Works
\n
\n
The visual refresh can easily be turned off or on using the Coming Soon feature, located in the top right corner of the app. In Word, Excel,PowerPoint, or OneNote, simply click the megaphone icon to open the Coming Soon pane, read more about the visual refresh changes, and use the toggle to move between the new and current interface, and apply the setting to all the Office apps.
\n
\n
Coming Soon feature
\n
\n
Coming Soon Feature Availability
\n
\n
\n
The Coming Soon feature is not available in Access, Project, Publisher, or Visio. If you turn on the visual refresh in any of the four apps mentioned above (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote), it will also be available in these four apps.
\n
Although the Coming Soon feature is available in Outlook, it cannot be used to turn the visual refresh on and off. If you turn on the visual refresh in any of the four apps mentioned above (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote), it will also be available in Outlook.
\n
Eventually, we'll remove the option to toggle off the visual refresh, so be sure to try it out now and let us know what you think. We don't always get things right, so we promise to continue to listen and learn. Your feedback is critical to help us refine your experience and make it even better.*
\n
\n
Notable Changes
\n
\n
\n
Office theme: Office now matches your Windows theme by default and all themes have received an update. You can experience the visual refresh in whichever Office theme you prefer, including black (with Word Dark Mode enabled), white, colorful, or dark grey.
\n
\n
\n
Microsoft Word and Windows 11 in Dark Mode
\n
\n
Quick Access Toolbar: It is now hidden by default to make your interface simpler. To display it again, simply right-click the ribbon or click the Ribbon Display Options icon, and then click Show Quick AccessToolbar.
\n
\n
\n
Frequently Asked Questions on the Office Visual Update
\n
\n
1. Why did my theme change?
\n
The new default Office theme is, “Use system setting.” This means you will see the Office White theme if your operating system (OS) is set to Light theme, and Office Black theme if the OS is set to Dark theme. If you had the Colorful theme selected before, your theme will now be set to “Use system setting.” Learn how to change the Office theme here.
\n
\n
2. Do I have to use the same theme for both Windows and Office? How do I change it?
\n
No. You can set one theme in Office and another in Windows, or have Office match the OS theme; it's your call! To set your theme, select File > Account, click the Office Theme dropdown, and then select the theme you want, or select Use system setting to have your Office and Windows themes match.

My experience with this Visual Refresh with the dark grey theme has been very frustrating. I have a new Surface Pro 8 running Windows 11 that I tried to connect to an external monitor, but the grey color in office apps (e.g. Outlook) was far too dark (appeared almost black on an external monitor) and the unusually high contrast made it almost unusable. This seemed very strange to me, because I was previously using a laptop running Windows 10 with the dark grey theme, on which I love the subtle different shades of grey--apparently that laptop did not have the visual refresh enabled (which I did not realize until a few minutes ago). I also noticed the office background is not visible on the SP8/Win11 with the Visual Refresh enabled. I tried to change the office background (I normally use Circuit), but regardless of which one I chose, it was not visible with the Visual Refresh enabled. Since I did not even know about the Visual Refresh, I thought something was seriously wrong with my Surface Pro 8 or Windows 11 settings, since everything looked so dark and high contrast in Office apps. I thought somehow I had a high contrast mode enabled, but that was not the case. I kept looking through the different settings in Windows 11 and in Office, such as personalization, color, office theme, office background, etc. and was having no luck, but I could see that clearly things looked very different on these two computers. It took me about 45 minutes to find out that this issue was caused by this \"Visual Refresh.\" In conclusion, I think that 1) this visual refresh is terrible with the dark grey theme, and 2) the visual refresh seems incompatible with office backgrounds (they are invisible when the visual refresh is on), and 3) most users will not know that this visual refresh has occurred, and may therefore think something is wrong with their system. I strongly recommend making this a choice that is in the office settings rather than in the \"Coming Soon\" and to ask the user if they want to try it.

Has the Visual Refresh officially been released yet for Office Professional 2021 (non-LTSC)? Or is it still a \"Coming Soon\" feature for this version of Office?

This whole situation with visual updates to Office is so puzzling and confusing. Same happened 4 years ago when they introduced this new \"drawn\" design to Office buttons/UI. Then it also was updating partially. Like my Outlook and Word had new icons, but Access doesn't and others were not getting same update.
Now with this refresh. It changed for me on my main work laptop in December. But the secondary laptop that i use occasionally, it still has old visuals (no new titlebar, old scrollbars). I use it not that often as main one, but still, it is getting every monthly Office 365 update (monthly channel) and it still doesn't get the refresh 5 months after the announcement. Same account, same org. This is abhorrent planning and deployment strategy by MS. Not surprising though. Most MS deployments are like that.

Greetings!
My Office 2021 new install suddenly got the new visual. My other PC (with existing Office 2021) does not. They are both on version 2203 (16.0.15028.20160).
If you really insist on getting the new visual, you'll need to modify your registry.
Specifically the reply by emilyhua-msft, dated Jan 31 2022.
I can confirm that her solution works. No need to restart your PC, simply close and re-launch your Office apps.
This works on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Hello Kori,
I would like to know the reason why none of my apps [word, excel, and PowerPoint] have the new visual ribbon.
I actually used the new visual in word for 1 day and the next day I switch on my laptop and everything is gone.
My laptop is in Windows 11 version and I can't seem to figure what to do.

Thanks for the update Kori_Loomis - The release note of the version are usually updated on the same day as its released, is there a way to look at the tentative timelines to see when this feature be available in MEC channel probably on Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365 otherwise, its a guesswork for the users. Coming Soon is now available in recent MEC version:2201 (Build 14827.20220) as per the release notes. Would the 'Try the new experience' toggle switch be available in that now?
