Pinned items are also synced between devices. Without doing anything, the same document appears in the Word Recent Document list on … the Word Mobile app, Apple Mac (Word 2016), Word for iPad, Word for Android and Word for iPhone. It happens to be the Timeline chapter for an upcoming update to our book Windows 10 for Microsoft Office users. Here’s a document I’ve saved to OneDrive on a PC. Instead, save selected documents to OneDrive leaving most of your files out of Microsoft’s grasp. Saving everything to OneDrive is good for Microsoft, but not necessarily their customers. But we don’t recommend doing that for your privacy and security. Microsoft pushes customers in various ways to save all their documents to OneDrive. The upcoming Timeline is an extension of an existing feature.Īll you need is to save the document to OneDrive and use the same Microsoft account across all your devices. The Office team has already synchronized the Open / Recent Documents lists across Word, Excel and PowerPoint for PC, Mac, Apple and Android devices. What you won’t hear is that Office already has a similar feature. It’s a way to see which documents and files you’ve opened across all your devices. Soon you’ll be hearing about Timeline, a new feature in the next version of Windows 10. Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments.
