If you are using Microsoft Visio Tool, you will now find it useful to use stencils with the latest AWS shapes. This new feature will help you to create diagrams and represent your AWS architecture more accurately.
Microsoft also adds an accessibility feature to Microsoft Outlook Client. While composing an email to large audiences or external users, accessibility violations will now be brought up to your attention, through a mailtip. Microsoft said that if you want to turn off this feature, navigate to File > Options > Ease Of Access > "Accessibility checker options" and select the "Run the accessibility checker only when I open it" option.
