The tech will soon be available in preview, the company said.

Office/Outlook Fluid components to change the way people collaborate

With the Fluid Framework project, Microsoft envisages a workplace where workers collaborate on a deeper level than possible today.

For example, existing collaboration technology lets you share or work on documents in real time. But you cannot edit a table in MS Excel and have that change reflected in an email table.

The Fluid Framework should make it possible to do just that. So far, Microsoft is implementing Fluid components in forms like to-do lists, tables, and chats.

Part of the long plan is to enable cross-app collaboration in real time. Also, since Fluid components are tiny and lightweight, workers will be able to make instantaneous changes to them.

“As a next step, we are excited to introduce the upcoming preview availability of Microsoft Fluid components. Right from an email in Outlook for the Web, create connected components that allow you to express your ideas and solve business problems. Fluid Components come in many forms – tables, charts, task lists, and more. Easily insert a wide range of components right into emails and chats. The permissions and access are handled automatically, and the data is easy to use and find later.”

Microsoft 365 users will soon have a chance to preview the Fluid components coming to Outlook and Office.com.

In addition, the entire Fluid Framework will be open source in the near future. It will be useful to developers building solutions that support real-time collaboration.
