Protocol Documentation Updates for the SharePoint 2016 Preview are now available

Last week, we released an update to the Open Specifications technical documents for the SharePoint 2016 Preview.

The Revision Summary table that appears at the beginning of each document provides a high-level overview of the changes in that document. If there are specific changes to a document that affect the meaning, language, or formatting of the technical content, those changes are detailed in the Change Tracking section that appears just before the Index in each document.

The following 140 documents were previously released and have been updated to include support for Office Desktop Client 2016 Preview products, SharePoint 2016 Preview, and Windows 10. No new documents were added as part of this release.
