OFFICE 365 PROFESSIONAL ADMIN UPDATE

You can only manage versions of Office that are installed on devices running Windows.

The Version management tab is only shown if you have chosen Monthly Enterprise Channel for feature updates on the Installation options tab. This capability is available to you on the Version management tab in the Microsoft 365 admin center, under Settings > Org settings > Services > Office installation options. You can also, in certain situations, roll back devices in your organization to a previous version of Office or skip an upcoming version. Manage which version of Office is installed Your choice under Feature updates applies only to new, but not existing, installations if you have one of the following plans: Office 365 operated by 21Vianet, Office 365 GCC, or Office 365 GCC High and DoD. If youвЂ™re using the Office Deployment Tool in a different way (for example, specifying the Channel attribute in the Add element), and not any of the other methods mentioned in the previous bullet point, then your choice under Feature updates will apply to those devices.ДЄlso, if you're using the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center ( ), and the device is included in the inventory or is managed by a servicing profile, then your choice under Feature updates won't apply.

YouвЂ™ll need to use that method to change the update channel on those devices instead of using Office installation options.

Your choice under Feature updates won't apply if you're already using some other method to manage Office on devices in your organization.ДЇor example, if youвЂ™re using Office policy settings (with Group Policy or Office cloud policy service), Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Microsoft Intune, or the Office Deployment Tool (either the Channel or the UpdatePath attribute in the Updates element). For more information about which features are available in each update channel, see Release notes for Microsoft 365 Apps releases. Keep in mind that moving to a different update channel can also change which features are available to your users. Office will be updated directly from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet. Devices will automatically get the latest build from the selected update channel the next time they check for Office updates. You can change your channel selection at any time.ДЇor new installations, your update channel selection will apply to any new installations of Office that are initiated by your users at My account > Apps & devices.ДЇor existing installations of Office, your selection will be applied to devices within 12 hours. In those cases where you have select devices that require extensive testing before receiving new features, we recommend Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel.ДЇor more information, see Overview of update channels for Microsoft 365 Apps.ДЄfter you select an update channel under Feature updates and choose Save, your choice of update channel will apply to both new and existing installations of Office in your organization. If you need additional predictability of when these new Office features are released each month, we recommend Monthly Enterprise Channel. We recommend Current Channel, because it provides your users with the newest Office features as soon as they are ready. For example, you can provide new features as soon as they're ready, or once a month (on the second Tuesday of the month), or twice a year (in January and July, on the second Tuesday). You can choose how often you want your users to get feature updates for the Office apps installed on devices running Windows. Choose how often to get feature updates for Office To get to Office installation options, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with your admin account, and then go to Show all > Settings > Org settings > Services.
