Description
This policy setting controls the Writing Assistance first run experience (FRE).If you enable this policy setting, choose one of the following options:Skip FRE entirely - Writing Assistance marks the first run experience as completed without showing it.Informational only - Writing Assistance shows the first run experience once without requiring user approval or sign-in. The experience is marked completed immediately, uses Next on page 1 and Okay on page 2, removes No Thanks, and is still completed if the user dismisses it.Approval required - Writing Assistance keeps the existing approval-required first run experience behavior.If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, Writing Assistance uses the existing default first run experience behavior.Note: This policy setting only applies to subscription versions of Office, such as Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise.
