PowerPoint

• The Title field in File > Info will no longer be filled in automatically when saving a file.
• Improved experience in changing the source of a linked chart: In a situation where a presentation contains a linked chart, which is not only stored at a SharePoint location, but also synced to a local folder, when the user tries to change the chart source via "File -> Info -> Edit Links to File -> Change Source...", the initial location in the Change Source dialog now shows the current location of the linked chart, instead of the last used location. PowerPoint can now convert the local sync folder location to its corresponding SharePoint URL and preserve it in the file if the user chooses a chart in a local sync folder as the new chart source.
• The Edit Photo Album option is now enabled in Slide Sorter view.

Word

• Resolved an issue in Outlook where background images wouldn't render correctly, requiring the user to scroll or click into the message for the image to appear.
• Resolved an issue where text inside the track change card was not properly visible when using dark grey theme.
• Resolved an issue in Word where content controls may be removed when coauthoring.
• Resolved an issue where attempting to reference a file using Draft with Copilot would give the error "Copilot wasn't able to apply the right sensitivity label to this file because it couldn't work with the content you referenced."
• Resolved an issue that caused footnote numbers to be missing from the Cross Reference list when track changes is turned on in a document and changes are made.
• Resolved an issue where the Enter and Backspace keys were not performing their expected functions within a list, preventing users from exiting the list.
