Microsoft’s new Office Viewer toggle for Edge lets you view Office files without having to download them first.
Previewing files is about to get a whole lot easier for Office 365 users as Microsoft has added a new toggle to Edge that allows users to open presentations, spreadsheets and documents right from its browser. First discovered by Reddit user Leopeva64-2, the new toggle is currently available in Canary builds of the software giant’s browser which means that Stable and Beta Edge users won’t be able to try it out just yet. Once enabled, clicking on an Office file will open it in a new tab where users will be able to read the file without Edge downloading it first.
