Microsoft is Testing New Office Interface for Windows 11

Recently, the new office design was tested by Microsoft. The software developer initially modified its Office design last year before announcing last month that Office has developed a new UI to match the new operating system on Windows 11. Office Insiders may now access the new user interface and all Microsoft 365 users will have access later this year.

The major improvements are the Office Ribbon Bar, with subtle changes to the Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook buttons. Originally Microsoft made more significant modifications to their Office UI, including shifting to a command bar, rather than a typical ribbon interface.
