Latest Office Updates for Windows
How to Check for Updates in Office 2016 and Office 2019 for Windows
The new version/build refers to 365, but (as in the published picture) is applicable also to 2019.
Are we to assume that "new features' are applied only to 365, and everything else (resolved issues) are applicable to both 365 and 2019?
It should all apply to both.

But 2019 does not get new features.
e.g. XLOOKUP is non-existing in 2019.
I do.
