In this article Office for Mac that comes with an Office 365 subscription is updated on a regular basis to provide new features, security updates, and non-security updates. Updates are available from Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU). To use Microsoft AutoUpdate, start an Office application, such as Word, and then choose Help Check for Updates. If you're an admin and want to update the computers in your organization with your existing software deployment tools, you can download and deploy the update packages for each application.

Note. For a list of all Office for Mac releases and additional download links, see. If you're an Office Insider, see. Starting with the 16.17 release in September 2018, these release notes also apply to Office 2019 for Mac, which is a version of Office for Mac that’s available as a one-time purchase from a retail store or through a volume licensing agreement.

Excel for Office 365 for Mac Word for Office 365 for Mac Outlook for Office 365 for Mac PowerPoint for Office 365 for Mac Office 2019 for Mac Excel 2019 for Mac PowerPoint 2019 for Mac Word 2019 for Mac Office for business Office 365 Small Business Office 365 for home Office 2016 for Mac Office 365 for Mac Outlook 2019 for Mac To provide you with the best experience, Office for Mac is changing to support Apple’s three most recent versions of. With the release of macOS 10.14 Mojave, Office 365 for Mac and Office 2019 for Mac will support macOS 10.14, 10.13, and 10.12. Moving forward, as new major versions of macOS are made generally available, Microsoft will drop support for the oldest version and support the newest and previous two versions of macOS. For example, when the next major version of macOS is released, Office for Mac will support the newest version as well as 10.14 and 10.13 while macOS 10.12 would no longer be supported.

What if I don't update macOS to a supported version? If you’re on an unsupported version of macOS, your Office apps will still work but you would no longer receive any updates including security updates. For example, if you’re on macOS 10.12, but later you don’t update your macOS to a supported version when macOS 10.12 is no longer supported, you won’t receive any updates of any kind. As new major versions of macOS are released and older versions become unsupported, we highly recommend you continue to update your macOS to a supported version in order to receive such as security updates as well as new features (if you’re an Office 365 for Mac subscriber).

This applies for both Office 365 for Mac and Office 2019 for Mac users. What about Office 2016 for Mac? If you have a one-time purchase of Office 2016 for Mac or you have Office 365 for Mac and are using the Office 2016 for Mac build on macOS 10.11 or 10.10, your will not change.
