When this will happen:

The feature will start rolling out in early December and complete rollout by early January.

How this will affect your organization:

Licensed Syntex users will see a new icon in the toolbar to annotate. Clicking the button will toggle on and off the annotations as well. Only licensed Syntex users have the ability to create or view annotations.

What you need to do to prepare:

Find the people in your organization most likely to collaborate on files of record in PDF and TIFF format. Purchase Syntex seat licenses and assign them to your users. Also let those users know about the new capability that they can take advantage of. Microsoft will continue to add functionality to this feature so make sure they know to check back as the feature grows.
