How does this affect me?
These features include:
– A new large toolbox with categorization and search
– A new Microsoft Forms web part
– Page formatting web parts in spacer and divider
– Document web part gets renamed to File viewer and will now support 270+ file types
– Highlighted content now supports the most commonly used tokens (ME/TODAY +/- days
– People now supports a second descriptive layout

We’ll be gradually rolling this out to First Release customers in early November, and the roll out will be completed by the end of December.

There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this change.
