Microsoft makes that a bit easier by releasing monthly roundups of what rolls out each month. Yesterday, Microsoft released a roundup for Microsoft Teams in December, and now you can also check out a roundup for OneDrive from last month as well.

The new shared library experience for OneDrive on the web improves the ability to share and collaborate with others. With it, you can specify people you want to share things with through an experience backed by an Office 365 group.
With full fidelity for shared libraries for OneDrive on the web, you can create new documents, pin documents, add shortcuts, and do other file management tasks directly on the web.
The ability to exclude file types is a handy addition that should be welcomed by admins. They can now specify file names or file extensions that they want to be excluded from syncing at a device level.
