This article describes update 4018295 for Microsoft Office 2016 that was released on March 6, 2018. This update has a prerequisite.

Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)

This update fixes the following issues:

• During the Save As process on a document library that requires checkout operation, when you click the Discard Check Out button in the Discard Check Out dialog box, nothing happens.
• The Information Rights Management (IRM) templates do not appear in the template drop-down menu if your email account does not match your Office identity or domain account.

This update also contains the following improvements for Office 2016 products:

• Enables the Document Information Panel feature in Office 2016.  After you install this update, you can update the SharePoint and document properties of an Office document by selecting the View tab, and then clicking the Properties button that will open the Properties panel.
• Corrects the translation for the string of the Change Picture button in the French version of PowerPoint 2016.
• Corrects the translation for the string of the Total Row check box in the Danish version of Excel 2016.
