Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4515 (Beta Channel)
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4515 (KB5046756) to the Beta Channel.
New features gradually being rolled out to the Beta Channel with toggle on*
Ability to seamlessly resume OneDrive files in 1-click from your phone to PC
We are gradually rolling out the ability to seamlessly resume working on OneDrive files from your phone (iOS and Android) on your Windows 11 PC with a single click. With this feature, you will get a notification asking you if you want to pick up where you left off editing a OneDrive file like a Word doc that you last viewed or edited on your phone within a 5-minute time window preceding unlocking your PC.
A cross-device resume notification indicating that you can continue working across devices seamlessly.
Upon clicking on this notification, the same file that you were viewing or editing previously on your phone will open in your default browser on your PC.
Here are some important details about how this feature works:
- This feature works only when signing into OneDrive with a Microsoft account. Work and school accounts are not supported. And you need to be using the same Microsoft account signing into OneDrive on your phone and signing into your Windows 11 PC.
- This feature supports Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, OneNote notebooks/pages, and PDFs.
- The OneDrive file must be opened on your phone when your PC is locked. If you then unlock your PC within 5 minutes of accessing the file on your phone, you will receive the resume notification as noted above.
- For the best experience using this feature, you should be logged into OneDrive in your default browser on your PC.
- Your PC should be on Build 22635.4515 and higher in the Beta Channel.
