Platform Updates to Microsoft Teams – Tech Tip For January 17, 2023

The December 2022 update to Microsoft Teams included a host of new functionalities, including new chat & collaboration features, device updates, and more.

The platform and PDF updates we cover below will streamline your processes and allow your team to collaborate more effectively.

New Ability to Save Approvals as PDFs

Now you can save, print, and transfer approvals with the touch of a button. Approval creators just need to save the approval as a PDF file, and then they’ll have the option to print or transfer it. This new feature allows you to store approvals as written confirmation so every team can work together confidently, knowing exactly what actions have been authorized.

New Ability to Set Adobe Acrobat as Default PDF App

Adobe Acrobat is one of the most widely-used softwares for creating and managing PDFs, and now it can be integrated directly into Microsoft Teams as the default PDF app.

This new integration will give companies who regularly use Acrobat greater efficiency and security throughout their organization.

To access this new feature, an admin must set Acrobat as the default PDF app in the admin center of Teams. From there, your team will be able to access and collaborate on Acrobat PDFs within Teams..

And the best part is that individual users don’t need an Acrobat or Creative Cloud subscription in order to collaborate on PDFs. Everything can be done within Microsoft Teams.
