Edit Office Files in Microsoft 365 — open and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in the browser

Word, Excel and PowerPoint files stored in MangoApps can now be opened in Microsoft 365 for the web, so there is no need to download a file, edit it and upload it again. People who are allowed to change a file get Edit, and everyone else who can see it gets View. Their changes are saved back to the same file, and the download link is still beside every file. This now covers calendar event attachments, benefits plan documents, performance management note attachments, frontline campaign documents, Sites asset library documents, AI Front Office knowledge base articles and customer account documents. PowerPoint decks in Drive now open in Microsoft 365 too, alongside Word and Excel. Editing in the browser is off until an administrator turns it on, and each app's own permissions still decide who can edit and who can only view.

Use case: A benefits administrator opens the dental plan summary from the plan page, corrects the deductible in Word in the browser and saves it, and every employee who opens the plan sees the updated document.

Available in: Drive and other apps → Admin → Media Settings → Office Editing (Microsoft 365)

Permit to Work Crews — permit to work software that keeps the whole crew informed

A permit to work in Safety Hub can now list the crew who will work under it, not only the person who requested it and the person who authorized it. Crew members can open the permit on their phones to check its conditions and precautions. They are told when it is issued, suspended, cancelled, past its end time or expired, so everyone on the job knows to stop when a permit is suspended. People added to a permit that has already been issued are told that it is live. Being on the crew lets someone view the permit, but it does not let them edit or close it.

Use case: A maintenance supervisor issues a hot work permit for three welders. When the safety officer suspends it because of a nearby gas reading, all three get the stop-work notice on their phones straight away.

Available in: Safety Hub → Permits → Crew working under this permit
