Collaboration stability: We know many of you collaborate with colleagues on the same presentation. In this release, we've greatly improved collaboration stability while working simultaneously on files are stored on SharePoint or OneDrive.
New chart defaults with smarter labels: We cleaned up chart defaults so that your charts look better out of the box. We've also improved the smartness of labels, for instance avoiding showing both segment and total labels when you only have one series.
