Since Microsoft introduced Teams, the text editor has practically remained the same. However, Microsoft is making slight changes to the editor, which employees will notice.
- The updated editor is only activated for the new Teams. Teams Classic will continue to use the old editor until the end.
- This affects Teams for Windows, Mac, and Teams on the web.
- It applies to the editor in 1:1 chats, group chats, and conversations in a channel.
- The rollout should be completed by the end of April.
As Microsoft describes it:
All Teams users will still be able to do everything they have previously done in Teams, but now, accessing these features will be easier and clearer.
A comparison of the old vs. updated editor shows visible differences.
