Capture whiteboards: Use the functionality of Office Lens to capture, clean up and crop pictures of a whiteboard and add them to your slide.
According to the version numbers, this should be the same update that was released to Insiders almost two weeks ago. Today"s update, however, doesn"t list one of the features that was shown in the Insider build, which is picture effects, such as "shadow" and "reflection".
It"s been about four weeks since Microsoft"s last Production update for its Office for Android apps. That build brought support for SVG images. Naturally, there should be another Insider build in about two weeks, followed by the Production release two weeks after that.
