Curious about the new features that will revolutionize your daily routine? Let’s explore the innovations designed to simplify your tasks and boost your productivity.

Microsoft 365 Premium: The Next-Generation Copilot Arrives

A Subscription That Changes Everything

Microsoft makes a bold move with Microsoft 365 Premium — a new subscription that merges classic Office apps with Copilot and advanced AI agents.
Imagine having an ultra-intelligent personal assistant that anticipates your needs before you even express them.

This new offering introduces specialized agents like Researcher and Analyst, transforming the way you work:

• Information synthesis from the web and your documents

• Step-by-step data analysis, including Python code execution

• Early access to upcoming features such as Office Agent and Agent Mode in Excel and Word

AI Agents That Work for You

Think of these agents as highly skilled virtual teammates.
Researcher scans the web and your files to generate insightful summaries, while Analyst breaks down complex data step by step — like having a team of experts available 24/7.

Microsoft Teams: Meaningful Enhancements

Simplified Call Transfers

No more confusion when transferring calls!
Teams Phone now includes an improved transfer system with real-time visibility and clearer prompts — fewer mistakes, fewer dropped calls.

Built-in Collaborative Notes

A true game-changer for meeting management: collaborative notes integrated directly into chats.
You can now create and share synchronized notes in real time without switching between apps.

Audio/Video Selection on iPad

iPad users can now select their audio and video devices directly from the pre-meeting screen — a small but impactful improvement in user experience.

Outlook: Streamlined Management

Goodbye Mobile Management Page

Microsoft simplifies Outlook Web by removing the mobile device management page.
All management now happens via My Account or Microsoft Intune, consolidating your tools and reducing clutter.

Word and eSignature: More Flexibility

Free-Text Fields in Signatures

Word now supports free-text fields in eSignatures, allowing signers to add custom details such as names or dates directly within the document.
This update turns your signing process into a truly collaborative experience — no more endless back-and-forth for minor edits!

Security Updates: Stronger Protection

Critical October Patches

Microsoft released several key security updates to keep your data safe:

• Updates for Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Access 2016

• Patches for SharePoint Server (Subscription, 2016, 2019) and Office Online Server

• Updates for SharePoint Workflow Manager

These updates are essential to maintain a secure work environment — don’t overlook them!

Additional Features: A Growing Ecosystem

The new Copilot Notebook gathers all project-related content — documents, emails, and links — in one AI-assisted workspace.
It’s like having a virtual project manager who organizes everything for you.

Copilot Keyboard Shortcut: Instant Access

Press Windows + C (or the dedicated key on Copilot+ PCs) to open your AI assistant instantly — faster than your morning coffee!

Guided Creation with Copilot

New Copilot templates and design suggestions help you craft visual and written content aligned with your brand identity.
