Microsoft announces Office LTSC 2024 preview starting next month

Microsoft announced that Office LTSC 2024, the next Office LTSC release, will enter a commercial preview phase starting next month and will be generally available later this year.
This forthcoming Office LTSC release will have fewer features than the Microsoft 365 Apps suite while refining features added to previous iterations.
Notable enhancements in Office LTSC 2024 encompass enhanced performance, security, and accessibility across the platform, expanded meeting creation options and improved search capabilities in Outlook, and numerous additions to Excel, such as Dynamic Charts and Arrays.
This aligns with the forthcoming release of Windows 11 LTSC, slated for later this year.
Redmond will also facilitate the deployment of both Office LTSC and Microsoft 365 Apps across various devices within organizations, leveraging the same deployment tools.
Office LTSC 2024 will be supported on both Windows 10 and Windows 10 LTSC devices.
The next version of Office will also ship for 32-and 64-bit architectures and will have Windows and Mac versions for both commercial and consumer customers.
