RoadmapOffice for the Web Roadmap
Office for the Web (formerly known as Office Online and sometimes called Office on the Web by Microsoft) delivers Microsoft-hosted Web applications that enable viewing and editing of Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word documents in a browser.
Product: Office for the Web
Licensing: Office for the Web
Near-Term Updates and Roadmap (2026-2027)
Office for the Web will continue to receive improvements several times a year and will sometimes be used as a test bed for new features. Features added will depend on the individual apps with only a few that apply across the suite.
The majority of enhancements to Office for the Web and its web-based applications will involve new and deeper integrations with M365 Copilot capabilities such as agent mode in Excel and Word.
Other enhancements to the Office web apps will compliment or support M365 Copilot such as additional Purview integrations like sensitivity labels to enhance compliance and governance for organizations.
Otherwise, expect minor enhancements to improve performance and collaboration, and improved integrations with Teams. Microsoft will continue to unify the experience of Office apps across the web, desktop and mobile using its Fluent Design System.
