Here\u2019s a look at what\u2019s new in May.<\/p>\n

Updates from Microsoft Build to help develop people-centered experiences with Microsoft 365<\/h3>\n

At Microsoft Build this month, we announced several new capabilities<\/a> in Microsoft 365 to help developers create people-centered, cross-platform experiences.<\/p>\n

Tap into your organization\u2019s collective knowledge with Microsoft Search<\/strong>\u2014We announced the general availability of Microsoft Search<\/a>, an intelligent enterprise search experience that delivers a unified, consistent search experience to help you discover relevant people, content, commands, and activities across all the Microsoft 365 experiences you use daily. Wherever you\u2019re working across Microsoft 365, Microsoft Search can help to complete a task, pick up where you left off, or discover answers or insights. The new Microsoft Search experience is available to all Microsoft 365<\/a> users now. To get started, try searching for me<\/strong> in Office.com or my documents<\/strong> in Bing.com.<\/p>\n

Derive deep insights about effective work patterns with Microsoft Graph data connect<\/strong>\u2014We also announced the general availability of Microsoft Graph data connect<\/a>, a service that helps organizations bring together productivity data from the Microsoft Graph with their own business data and derive deep insights about effective work patterns. Microsoft Graph data connect is available through Workplace Analytics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Modernize your command-line app experience with the new Windows Terminal<\/strong>\u2014In addition, we announced the preview of Windows Terminal<\/a>, a new feature-rich terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells, including support for tabs, rich text, globalization, configurability, theming and styling, and more.

App updates to help people do their best work<\/h3>\n

This month, we introduced capabilities to help you get more done\u2014including updates to SharePoint and the OneNote, Yammer, and Microsoft To-Do apps.<\/p>\n

Deliver an intelligent intranet and build employee engagement<\/strong>\u2014This month at the SharePoint Conference, we announced several new app updates<\/a> coming this summer. SharePoint home sites<\/a> deliver a new way for you to bring together news, events, content, conversations, and videos to deliver an engaging \u201clanding page\u201d experience that reflects your voice, your priorities, and your brand. With the upcoming Yammer question and answer feature<\/a>, you can ask a question and then you or a group admin can mark the best answer. And soon you\u2019ll be able to securely record, upload, and share video from the Microsoft Stream mobile app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reduce eye fatigue with Dark Mode in OneNote for Windows 10<\/strong>\u2014OneNote for Windows 10 now offers Dark Mode<\/a>, giving you a darker canvas and adjusted color scheme to reduce eye fatigue or simply have a change in (screen) scenery. Dark Mode is now available for Office Insiders. Additionally, you can now send an email in Outlook directly to your OneNote for the Windows 10 app. To get started, get or update your OneNote for Windows 10 app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Improve your focus, wellbeing, network, and collaboration with MyAnalytics<\/strong>\u2014A new MyAnalytics experience<\/a> delivers outcome-oriented insights to help you make progress in four key areas: network, collaboration, focus, and wellbeing. For example, insights that previously showed you the hours you spent on email, chats, calls, and meetings outside your working hours over the past week now show you the number of days you successfully disconnected after work over the past month. That way, you can set goals and build habits that help you achieve more quiet days. This new experience is generally available to Microsoft 365 Enterprise <\/a>and Office 365 Enterprise<\/a> customers who have MyAnalytics as part of the E5 plan, as an add-on to E1 and E3, or with Workplace Analytics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Add data to Excel directly from a photo with your iOS device<\/strong>\u2014Using the Excel app on your iOS device, you can now take a picture of a printed data table<\/a> and automatically convert the picture into a fully editable table in Excel. This image-recognition functionality eliminates the need for you to manually enter that data. This capability works across 21 languages and is now available for the Excel app on both Android<\/a> and iOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Streamline records management and access control<\/h3>\n

New privacy controls allow you to meet compliance obligations and efficiently manage access requests at enterprise scale.<\/p>\n

Streamline records management and monitor inappropriate conduct<\/strong>\u2014Several new Advanced Data Governance capabilities<\/a> help you streamline compliance requirements. You can now use native connectors to import non-Microsoft 365 data\u2014such as data from Facebook and Twitter\u2014into the Microsoft cloud for archival purposes. A new records management solution helps you easily manage business, legal, and HR records in a single location.
