Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, October 17 (Xinhua)-- Microsoft announced at the recent Ignite conference that it will launch Microsoft 365 applications later in November, and the new application will become a new center for accessing Microsoft's services and applications.

Microsoft said that the Office.com website, the Office mobile app and the Office Hub program for Windows will all be renamed, and Microsoft will gradually introduce new icons, new looks and more features for these applications or websites.

However, the news sparked speculation among users that Microsoft was about to give up the classic Office brand. The news was refuted by journalist Paul Thurrott, who found evidence in a question and answer on Microsoft's official website.

Microsoft said in a question and answer that as part of Microsoft 365, users will continue to access applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Microsoft will also continue to provide consumers and businesses with an one-time purchase of these applications through the Office 2021 and Office LTSC programs. In addition, the Office 365 subscription plan has not changed.

CTOnews.com learned that the Microsoft Microsoft 365 app will be launched next month, which will be very similar to existing Office apps. On Windows, the web, and mobile devices, users can use it to open new documents, access shared files and content, or discover new applications and tools in your Microsoft 365 subscription products. In addition, you can also see work suggestions that require attention according to your meetings, tasks, and other documentation activities. Most importantly, you can perform the usual fast operations without having to switch between different Microsoft 365 applications.

Microsoft is also adding new features to the new Microsoft 365 app, which are not available in the Office app, including a new Feed that displays shared files of the people you work with, as well as trends and popular content at work, which will appear in the form of cards. Other new features include a redesigned application module that can be accessed into any Microsoft 365 or third-party application for the first time on mobile. The last function is tagging, which is a new way to organize work.

It seems that Microsoft is going to use Office to refer to previous office tools, and the new features will be available for Microsoft 365, so users of the old version of Office don't have to worry about being abandoned for the time being.
