Windows 10: New Office Insider version 1908 fast build 11901.20002 - July 5

Brink · Jul 8, 2019

Version 1908 (Build 11901.20002)

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

New features

Sketchy Shapes
Sketchy Shapes is a new shape style that lets you apply a less polished look to your shapes, allowing you to visually communicate the draft state of your content. Those shapes have all of the attributes of rendered shapes, allowing for manipulation, resizing, and usual shape properties, but they bring a little whimsy to your slides.
Learn more

How to enable

Create and select a shape.

On the Shape Format tab, click Shape Outline, click Sketchy, and then select the Sketchy style you want in the list.

Scenario to try

Apply different sketchy styles to your shapes.

Apply sketchy styles to your SmartArt objects.

Notable fixes

We fixed an issue which would degrade the quality of a chart when exported as a PDF.

Known issues
Some performance regressions and downlevel backcompat issues when applying sketchy styles to Smart Art, still being worked on

PowerPoint

New features

Ink Replay
You can apply the new Replay or Rewind animation to ink and get the drawing effect directly in your presentations! You can adjust the timing of these animations to be faster or slower to match the experience you want.
In addition to timing options, you can also control how multiple ink objects contained in a group playback, by using the Effect Options animations. All at Once will start the playback of all ink objects at the same time, while By Ink Object will play back the ink objects in sequential order determined by the order the ink objects are layered.
Learn more

Scenario to try
Add some ink in your slides to callout or highlight some data or to add some flair. Then, apply the Replay animation to your ink and set the timings to what makes sense to your presentations.

New Insider Fast/Slow version history article for Office for Windows

Happy Friday, Insiders!

I have four pieces of news to share:

We're tweaking the names of the Insider levels. Release cadence doesn't change, just the names: Changes to Slow/Fast level names for Office Insider for Windows desktop

We just released an Insider Slow patch for Version 1707, the July feature update.

We just released a new Insider Fast update since we hadn't shipped a new build in a while. Look for 8431.2022.

You can read more about the two updates above in this newly minted article: Update history for Office Insider for Windows desktop

The Update History article is fully localized within 48 hours, which is good news for our global Insiders. Bear in mind that it takes the other languages a little while to catch up with changes to the English version, so if things look out of sync, that's why. The fact that we tweak these articles frequently makes translation even harder, but hey, that's life in the Fast lane. *Smile

Please bookmark the article and feel free to suggest improvements. You can reply on this post or use the feedback controls at the bottom of the article itself. I'll be watching both.

This is the first step on the road to the much requested release notes. ;-)

Have a good one.

Anneliese

P.S. We'll wait for the level name changes to roll out to all Insiders before updating the documentation to match.
