Microsoft replaced Office 2016 with Microsoft 365 (M365). With this change, QuickHelp will deprecate Office 2016 Topics, Skill Paths, and Communications on Friday, March 31, 2023. All affected Skill Paths and communications will have "DEPRECATING MARCH 2023" within the description.
Complete lists of deprecating Office 2016 Topics, Skill Paths, and Communications are located at the bottom of this article.
You can also view the list of your published and updated 2016 Skill Paths within the QuickHelp Admin portal. Click Skill Paths and search for "deprecating". Keep in mind that the "DEPRECATING" label will only show on Skill Paths if they have been updated to the current version and published. If your published Skill Paths are not current, the label may not show.
What's next?
- Check QuickHelp notifications and follow the prompts to accept Skill Path names and content updates.

- Review custom content and replace Office 2016 Topics with the corresponding Microsoft 365 Topics.
