Neowin has leaked some details from the latest private test version of Office 2016, the next full version of Office.
It’s not a full list of the changes, not by a long shot. Many of them are quite detailed but some will be welcome by everyone; some changes to the Open and Save As panes.
- “In the Open and Save As tabs of the backstage, the order of storage locations tabs has been updated to reduce confusion (One Drive | OneDrive for Business |Online Locations | local computer)
- For online storage locations, corresponding email addresses have been added to tab labels to help distinguish the tabs from one another (having multiple online storage locations can get confusing!)
- The Browse button in each Open/Save As pane has been elevated for improved visibility and quicker entry into the file explorer“
The full list of the leaked changes is:
- Forecasting Functions
- Time Grouping for Model Based Pivot Tables
- PowerView over an OLAP connection
- Data model PivotTable Automatic Relationships Detection
- BI in Excel – BI features discoverability
- Updated Backstage UI
- Rename Tables, Columns and Measures in Power Pivot and Adjustments of the PivotTables

Some details of each in the NeoWin article.
