November improvements coming to Microsoft 365: new view in Excel

Dark Mode is one of the trends that users are not facing and incidentally getting used to in recent months. A new interface that promises lower consumption and less damage to our eyesight, especially when we now live almost perpetually surrounded by screens and mobile devices.

Little by little, Dark Mode has been reaching all kinds of applications and all operating systems. And among all of them now too rolling out in OneNote 2016 for Microsoft 365 subscribers It's one of the changes announced at the Ignite event earlier this month, but incidentally they announce a good number of improvements and additions that we are now going to review.

What's new in Microsoft 365

And among the applications that receive the renewed interface is OneNote 2016, the utility that allows us to manage our tasks and keep them under control wherever we goand that now manages to adapt it to the interface of the operating system if we use the black tones.

The goal is to improve readability in low-light environments, provide better contrast, and reduce eye strain. Dark Mode is available to all Office 365 subscribers and Office 2019 customers who don't have volume licenses. Incidentally, they have announced that they will continue general support for OneNote 2016 beyond October 2020.

"

Along with the improved Dark Mode in OneNote 2016 comes another previously announced feature in the case of Excel such as Sheet View, a An enhancement that those working in collaborative environments will especially benefit from, as it allows users to sort and filter the data they need, and then select an option to make those changes visible only to themselves or to everyone working on the document.If that change is applied on a personal level, that filtering and sorting will not affect the workbook view of other collaborators who participate in the real-time creation of that sheet."

"

Also enhancements are coming to Microsoft Forms so that quiz takers can give permission for respondents to upload and upload files that make the survey more complete. To start it, click on the dropdown menu to add advanced question types and select Upload file. Once you successfully add a file upload question, a folder will automatically be created on your OneDrive or SharePoint."

In addition, Microsoft has announced for next month that it will make possible the integration of a service like Outlook.com with the Sticky Notes app Through this synchronization it will be possible for users to see their notes from their email inbox and at the same time to edit them and create other notes conveniently directly in Outlook.
