What is the Fluid Framework actually, what does it entail, what can it be used for?<\/h4>\n

The Fluid Framework is an open-source collaboration technology for both Office and third-party applications. This collaboration technology is a collaboration platform with which updates to the content are implemented in almost real-time in the various applications that use the technology.<\/p>\n

This means that a colleague of yours can edit a table in a Teams conversation, at the same time\u00a0 you or another colleague has the same table open in Excel, regardless of the device with which you and your colleague are consuming this data.<\/p>\n

Curious if this is available within your organization? Check <\/span>https:\/\/fluid.microsoft.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Fluid<\/p>\n

Let’s be clear: the Fluid Framework is still under development, although the preview and recent announcements show that there is potential in it.<\/p>\n

We will see the first integrations in Microsoft 365, and more specifically in Outlook and Office.com.<\/p>\n

Because the Fluid Framework is open-source, existing components can be further developed to meet the specific needs of our customers, and it is possible to choose to develop components ourselves.<\/p>\n

Does Microsoft show what the future of the Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ..) will look like?<\/p>\n

In this blog<\/a> written by Microsoft Office’s design head, Jon Friedman, part of the vision and future is already explained, how the focus will be more and more on the content of an end user, instead of on the tool used for this content, is going to be. At Spikes, these developments are in any case closely monitored in order to advise our customers correctly.<\/p>\n
