    Thank you both for this feedback. I'll share it with the Office app training team. In the meantime, please continue to use the feedback control on all of our Support.Office.com pages. We really do read them!

    Tom Werner Sorry yes, the Outlook ones are brilliant. By default, I went to Excel, which isn't as helpful (I have a Mac customer who are heavy Excel users).

    The Outlook modules do this well, with specific Mac training. The Excel modules don't specify, or point out in the description any Mac variances.

     

    Deleted What gotchas have you seen? Don't want to hijack this thread but we have customers who will probably upgrade and I'm not aware of any issues. Do you have a link to another thread?

     

    Interestingly, this Tech Community doesn't have a specific Office for Mac space, nor a Mac space under any of the inidividual Office products. I know you may think the functionality is all the same across the platforms, but it's not, so it's difficult to find Mac-centric info & issues. My current pet hate is "Coming Qx .... and soon for Mac" :)

    Mac specific training should also have a compatibility banner in the page head. Example, macOS High Sierra released this past Monday but MSO 2016 has some gotchas with that version of macOS.

    One of the challenges we find with end user training is finding modules relevant to Outlook for Mac.

    The end user training modules you have listed don't spefically state if they are for Mac or PC. You can assume they are PC because of the screenshots, but we're struggling to find good Mac-focussed online training.
