The same caveat will apply if the user declines the September refresh to Office 2019: No new features will be offered the applications. Those that are not will continue to receive Office security updates but will no longer get new feature updates. Īt that time, the Office applications - Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint - will be updated from their current Office 2016 designations to the new Office 2019 labels, assuming that the suite is running on a Mac powered by macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or 10.13 (High Sierra). Microsoft will probably deliver the Office 365 September update around September 11 or 12 if it sticks to the usual monthly refresh schedule. 'As of the Office 365 for Mac September 2018 update, macOS 10.12 or later is required to update to the new version of the Office client apps for Mac and receive new feature updates,' Microsoft announced in a support document.

Microsoft has warned Mac subscribers of Office 365 that they must be running either macOS Sierra or macOS High Sierra next month when the company updates the productivity applications.
