The fact that offline editing, a feature that has been around for years, wasn't available for Office files seems like an odd oversight, but it's good to see Google righting that wrong. Files will all be saved locally and synced with the Google Drive version once your device gets back online. There's now no need for that you can edit, comment, and otherwise collaborate in an Office document on Docs/Sheets/Slides while offline. Since 2019, Google's suite of document-editing tools has had the ability to both edit Office documents and edit Workspace files offline (with a toggle), but for some reason, that functionality was not available for documents that were opened in Office editing mode - so if you had any offline Office documents on your hard drive and were offline, you were better off editing them in Word/Excel/PowerPoint if you needed to make any changes. Google is rolling out a change that lets you edit and comment on Office files within Docs, Sheets, and Slides - all offline, just the way you like it.
