Unable to @ mention external collaborators in comments within Office online files
Is anyone aware of whether Microsoft will someday enable the ability to @ mention users who do not belong to the M365 tenant within comments in Office online files? I've attached a screenshot of what this looks like in a Word Online file in OneDrive. There are a number of Microsoft feedback posts about this, but it really feels like an unnecessary gap in functionality. Anyone have any insights on roadmap?

OneDrive showing incorrect user
Hi all, When I edit a shared document through OneDrive (or Teams or Sharepoint) through the web, it correctly shows those edits as being attributable to me. However, if I open that document on my local machine, the edits are being attributed to another user. I am collaborating as an invited guest (invited through Azure AD) using B2B collaboration (I think). I am by no means an experienced or advanced 365 / Azure / Sharepoint administrator. A more detailed background (I hope is not too confusing): My local machine is a Mac. I have a 365 Business Std subscription for my own organisation (Org A) and I'm the global admin (Org A Admin). I work with a different business (Org B). As I'm the most knowledgable person at Org B when it comes to MS365, I help them manage their own 365 subscriptions (a combination of 365 Bus Std and Exchange Online P1). I have access to the global admin account for Org B (Org B Admin). I have recently begun to introduce Org B to Teams so that we can collaborate on certain projects using Teams and Sharepoint. To do this, as Org B Admin, I created a Team under Org B (call it Team B). I then invited Org A Admin to Team B as this is my day-to-day work account. I sent this invite from within Team B while logged in as Org B Admin. For a while, I collaborated this way successfully as Org A Admin. I then decided to 'upgrade the collaboration' by setting up B2B collaboration between Org A and Org B. I made the necessary changes to the incoming/outgoing collaboration settings for both organisations. I deleted my existing external user at Org B and reinvited myself as a guest through Azure AD at Org B (mailto:tyrone@OrgA) I collaborated this way for a while using Teams. I edited documents through Teams - sometimes through the Teams interface but also by synchronising files to my local machine using OneDrive. Any edits I made were always shown as originating from my Org A account, i.e. tyrone@OrgA. I was able to move between Org A and Org B in Teams without any problems. When I opened Teams on my local machine, I could move between Org A and Org B in the top right of the app. Two instances of OneDrive opened when I logged in to my machine - one synchronised Org A files and the other synchronised Org B files. From yesterday, when I edit a document in Team B on my local machine, the edits I make show as being done by Org B Admin and not mailto:tyrone@OrgA. However, when I make edits through the Teams interface, these edits are correctly shown as being made by mailto:tyrone@OrgA. It appears as though my guest account at Team B (mailto:tyrone@OrgA) is being confused with Org B Admin. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this: I logged out of all my local Office applications (including OneDrive and Teams) I deleted and reinstalled all the Office applications (including OneDrive and Teams) I deleted all local caches, plist files, etc. I deleted my guest account at Org B and ensured that my user account was also deleted from Team B. I logged back into to local Office apps, Teams and OneDrive using my Org A credentials and all is working fine. I invited myself back to Org B using the Azure AD interface as a guest. I added myself back to Team B (using the Teams admin interface under Org B). I then navigated to Team B through my local machine (where I'm logged in to the Office apps as Org A Admin), edited the file locally, and again my edits were attributed to Team B Admin. Same thing happened if navigating to the Team through the Teams online interface. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. Thank you. 🙏

New Release: Share with Review Mode for Word on the web
New Release: Share with Review Mode 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. 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, Stephen Rice Senior Program Manager, OneDrive
