Here’s how it works: 

  • Open your file using Excel within your OneLake file explorer.

And that’s it! The moment you close the file, your file is updated, and you can view the latest changes through your browser online. This feature offers a convenient, hassle-free way to manage and update your data files via Excel. 

View Release Notes: Stay in the Loop 

To keep you informed about the latest changes and features, we have introduced a new ‘Release Notes’ menu option in OneLake file explorer. This handy addition is designed to make your life easier by keeping you informed about what’s new in the latest version. 

 Here’s how to access it: 

  • Right-click on the OneLake icon in the Windows notification area, typically found at the far right of your taskbar.
