The author team is delighted to announce that the eighth update for the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook (2019 edition) is now available for PDF/EPUB and Kindle. Subscribers can download the updated files using their Gumroad (PDF/EPUB) or Amazon (Kindle – should be online by 12 noon EST) accounts. See the FAQ for more information about how to download the updated files.
Please Download the Updates
We encourage subscribers to download and use the updated files. It’s a source of some bemusement to us that only 37.6% of our Gumroad subscribers downloaded the seventh update. There’s no point in reading outdated information, especially if you’re paying to receive updates.
Fourteen Chapter Updates
In line with our commitment to keep track of changes as they happen inside Office 365, this update includes refreshes for 14 of the 24 chapters in the main book. Several chapters in the companion volume are also updated. You can always access our change log online to track the evolution of the book and understand why we believe that an eBook is the only way to deal with fast-moving cloud topics.

First – love the book. I’ve been a supporter from the first edition years back. I use the book as a reference more than a read and I suspect most people do. I typically update the book only when I’m looking into an issue or researching a new feature (like today) Now if you’re looking for more “Update just because a new version is out” clicks, try adding URL links on the notice .. simply adding “https://gumroad.com/library” on the “goto your Gum Road account” will increase the base hit count because it’s easy and we are lazy unless we NEED something from the new book.
At the top of page 105, you stated “The topic of dealing with Office 365 Groups in hybrid environments is covered in the companion volume.”. Where can we find this companion volume?
The companion volume is available in two files (PDF and EPUB) that subscribers can download from their Gumroad account. Kindle buyers have to buy the companion volume separately (for $9,99) because Amazon doesn’t allow us to create multi-volume books.
