Microsoft releases updates to Office 365/Microsoft 365 for Windows, such as features, bug fixes, and security patches, once they are available. This version has been updated to 2110 (Build 14527.20276), released on November 9, 2021.
A subscription to Office 365 support or Microsoft 365 grants subscriptions members faster access to software updates, which makes it easier to stay up-to-date with the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes.
