14. Release Options
This is the default option where you and your users
receive the latest updates when they're released
broadly to all Office 365 customers.
Leaving a majority of users in Standard Release and
setting IT Pros and Power Users to First Release
provides time to evaluate new features and prepare
teams to support business users and executives.
With this option, you and your users can be the
first to see the latest updates and help shape
the product by providing early feedback. First
Release is an Opt-In experience.
