Don’t have it yet? It’s probably us, not you.
Features are released over some time to ensure things are working smoothly. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Sometimes Microsoft removes elements to further improve them based on the feedback they receive.
I’m not among the lucky ones.
At the time of writing this article, I do not have these functions yet. Once I get them I will be creating detailed tutorials with examples and projects.
Stay tuned.
