When you’re in Microsoft Teams, collaborating with all your coworkers, you might feel the need to call out someone for the excellent work they’ve done or the help they’ve given you. You can do that now with the Praise feature. Here’s how that works…
Exporting a Planner to Excel
This is a new feature that came about from people requesting and upvoting it on the Planner UserVoice site. You can now export your Planner to Excel in order to work with it further. Here’s how that works…
Decluttering your Microsoft Teams list of workspaces
After you’ve been using Microsoft Teams for a bit, there’s a good chance you’ll “collect” a large number of Teams that you’re part of. That can make your list of Your Teams long and unwieldy. Fortunately, there’s a new feature that will keep that list under control and hide the Teams that you don’t use as much (or at all). Here’s how that works.
Using the Announcement post in Teams
I’ve been waiting for this feature to show up in our Office 365 tenant, and now we have it… Announcement posts in Microsoft Teams! This is a great way to garner more attention to a post in a Microsoft Teams Channel. Here’s how it works…

However, at that time it appeared that it was only “coming soon” in the Android version of the Excel mobile app. But now the feature is fully rolled out, and it’s in the iOS version too! SQUEEEEE! The ability to take a picture of a data table and have it converted into rows and tables of an Excel spreadsheet is pure awesomeness. Here’s how it works…
Using the Notes feature in Outlook
When going through my list of reading material from Twitter, I found a link to an article by Rob Woodgate titled What are Notes in Outlook and How Do You Use Them? I didn’t know that was buried in Outlook, and it’s a pretty cool way to keep “sticky notes” in Outlook for easy reference. Here’s how it works…
Version History on Office files shared in SharePoint and OneDrive
When you have an Excel, Word, or PowerPoint file open that has been shared in SharePoint Online or OneDrive, there’s an easy way to see when and who updated the file using the Version History icon in the Ribbon Bar. You can also easily see the actual file in earlier versions. Here’s how…
