This passage mixes together two different kinds of extensibility: (1) Teams apps which can be surfaced in 3 different kinds of hubs: Teams, Outlook (as a hub), and the M365 app. (2) Add-ins that can be surfaced in Outlook (as an application), Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Please slow down and use enough words to make clear these two kinds of extensions.

Appending this sentence makes it sound like it's possible to run different update channels for different Office applications . . . is that true? If not, could we reword this more generally to cover both cases (Outlook GA / WXP preview)? For example:

  1. If you're testing in Outlook, open File > Office Account > About Outlook to confirm you're running a Microsoft 365 Current Channel build of Outlook. If you're testing in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, open File > Account > Update Channel to confirm you're running a Microsoft 365 Beta Channel build.
