For Word and PowerPoint, you'll require to save your documents to OneDrive or SharePoint Online following send an invite to collaborators (Microsoft notes that Windows users need to be running PowerPoint 2010 or later). You'll need an Office 365 subscription for Excel, and in many cases upload to or have a new workbook on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or perhaps a SharePoint Online library.

Office 2016 also adds AutoSave capabilities to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, allowing Office 365 subscribers to enable this for files stored on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online. The three apps also improve discovery of documents stored inside of your frequently used sites and groups within a Open menu, while Excel adds new charts (like the funnel, sunburst, and histogram) and improves support for filters in some PivotTable.

PowerPoint enables you to trim content coming from a beginning or end associated with an audio or video clip, and adds support for formula mouse as a laser pointer for improved focus during presentations. Outlook adds gestures for archiving (swiping left with two fingers) or deleting (swiping right) email from a Inbox.
