Microsoft today announced the general availability of its Office for Android apps, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The new version is 16.0.7301.1013, and the changelog is exactly the same as the Office Insider build from three weeks ago, 16.0.7301.1002.
Here's what you'll find in today's update:
Word
- Collaboration - front and center: Quickly share your document, and see who’s working on it.
- Shared with me: Find and open files others have recently shared with you.
Excel
- Collaboration - front and center: Quickly share your document, and see who’s working on it.
- Shared with me: Find and open files others have recently shared with you.
- Improved copy and paste: Move content between Office applications. We’ll make sure it looks great.
PowerPoint
- Collaboration - front and center: Quickly share your document, and see who’s working on it.
- Shared with me: Find and open files others have recently shared with you.
- Fresh new look: A better experience for reading presentations on your phone. Drag and drop to reorder slides and double-tap to edit.

Microsoft tends to update these apps once a month, offering an Insider build earlier on and then a generally available update later in the month. It seems likely that Office Insiders will have something to look forward to within a couple weeks.
