SharePoint

Additional features for Text Web Part

Microsoft has taken some time to add super useful features to the maybe most used Web Part for SharePoint: "Text".

• You can set a custom font color (🤯 this is one of my excepting features for a while ! When you have a dark image as background and text, it was not possible to choose the white color for example)
• You can manage space between paragraphs and headers (no need to press enter several times anymore)
• New quote design (Quote Icon is my favorite one 🙂)
• For new tables only, such as Microsoft Word (for example), you can highlight the number of columns and rows that you want

Stream

Reactions

Such as a meeting or a live event, you can now add reactions in a video 🙂
This feature can be really useful to determine when a user likes a part of the video, and this information can be really useful to know what kind of information is appreciated... with this information, you can orient your next videos to match better with the user expectations 💡

Microsoft had revamped the interface of Microsoft Forms.

• The home page is easier and more efficient
• The settings and configurations settings are more accessible by specific buttons a float panel
