What is it?
Office 365 at UNCG is the cloud-based Microsoft productivity suite that provides access to Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, OneDrive, and other productivity services.
When you log in to Office 365 (M365) you land on your “Home” page, a place where you can quickly access recently open files. There is also a ribbon to the left that you can use to open cloud-based versions of the Microsoft apps. The cloud-based apps offer the convenience of easy access to all of your files from anywhere. However, in some cases the cloud-based apps might lack some advanced functions found in the desktop products. The M365 home page also provides you the option to download and install the full Office suite to your computer.
