The chart will automatically update to catch all data when the array recalculates. Within Teams, the build also enables the creation of e-signature approvals with signature fields.

It fixes a number of flaws, including one in PowerPoint that prevented links from updating when the referenced file was already open and another in Outlook that led to emails getting stuck in the outbox for some profiles with multiple Exchange accounts enabled.

Release date: October 11, 2022
