Earlier this month, we began to roll out a new, more intuitive home page experience for Office 365 users. This update brings a fresh new look and feel to the Office 365 welcome page, and a range of new features for both administrators and users.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re constantly looking for opportunities to improve the way our users get things done. The new Office 365 home page enables more consistent and unified experiences for work, education and home users across every device. This new platform also helps us respond to user feedback and deliver innovative new features at a faster pace than ever before.<\/p>\n

Simple, responsive design<\/h3>\n

\"Introducing<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve simplified how people access their Office 365 applications and documents. Now, when you log in to Office 365, you have immediate access to all your online applications and recent documents to help you get to what you need faster.<\/p>\n

As part of this update, we\u2019ve also taken the opportunity to add improved page responsiveness for a better, more consistent experience across all your devices. Office 365 lets you get your best work done, no matter what device you’re using, and the new home page will look beautiful on your phone, tablet, PC and Mac.<\/p>\n

Tool tips<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We want to make sure that our Office 365 users get the most out of their Office 365 experience. New tool tips help highlight new and unused features, including recently added applications and actions users need to take.<\/p>\n

Seamless Office install<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve made it easier than ever for Office 365 users to get the latest version of their mobile applications and desktop software. Now, you can download and install Office on your device with one click from the home screen. We\u2019ve also made it easier to install Office 365 mobile applications from your desktop. Simply choose the application you want to install, then send an email or an SMS to the device you want to install it on.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next<\/h3>\n

Over the next few months, you\u2019ll see the new home page replace the default log-in experience for Office 365 users. Let us know what you think! And don\u2019t be surprised if we respond to your feedback. We read every piece of feedback that we receive as we work to make your Office 365 experience the best it can be.<\/p>\n
