How to Join the Office Insider Program

Be amongst the first to test new features.

Want to get ahead of the curve in your favourite Office app?

Join the Office Insider Program to test and explore new features in Office apps before they are released to the wider public.

In doing so, you are helping developers improve them by submitting diagnostics data and feedback.

Whether it’s Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or Outlook (and a few others), joining it in one app will also mean you’ll receive updates in the others.

All the information here applies to the entire Microsoft 365 suite. However, let’s be honest: no one gets excited about updates for the other apps. It’s all about Excel, so we’ll be using that!
