Coloured Folders in OneDrive for Business

In mid 2023, Microsoft introduced the option to choose colours for folders in OneDrive for Business on the web.

Microsoft is bringing coloured folders to OneDrive within the Microsoft Windows File Explorer starting in mid-September 2024 and scheduled to finish by mid-October 2024.

If you have used coloured folders on the web version of OneDrive then these will be replicated in the OneDrive in your Windows File Explorer.

Once the change happens, you can also update and manage the colour for folders in your OneDrive from within the File Explorer.

Word – Track Changes

Have you ever shared a Word document and wondered which elements people are changing or adding?

 

When you share a document via your One Drive for Business or SharePoint you enable people to work on the original document without having to co-ordinate multiple edits at a later date (no more copying and pasting), but how do you know what has changed?

 

You may have come across track changes in the full version of Word – it has been available for a very long time, but it’s also come to Mac OS versions of Word and most recently to the Web and iOS versions of Word.

 

This means you can now see all those edits (and who made each one) and choose which ones to accept and which to reject.

 

There’s more information on Track Changes in Word within this Microsoft Support Page – just pick the right version of Word to see how to use Track Changes within that version.
