This policy setting configures the synchronization of user settings which are common between the Microsoft Office Suite 2013 applications. Microsoft Office 365 synchronizes certain settings by default without UE-V. If the synchronization capabilities of Microsoft Office 365 are disabled, then the user settings which are common between the Microsoft Office Suite 2013 applications will synchronize between a user’s work computers with UE-V by default. Use this policy setting to prevent the user settings which are common between the Microsoft Office Suite 2013 applications from synchronization between computers with UE-V. If you enable this policy setting, user settings which are common between the Microsoft Office Suite 2013 applications continue to synchronize with UE-V. If you disable this policy setting, user settings which are common between the Microsoft Office Suite 2013 applications are excluded from synchronization with UE-V. If you do not configure this policy setting, any defined values will be deleted.

Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
