The question is, will anyone miss Publisher? Microsoft hasn’t paid much attention to this app in the past few years, and it doesn’t feel like an app that people will use if they subscribe to Office services. The original purpose of Publisher has been blurred by various highly overlapping applications, which are also smarter than Publisher, such as Microsoft Designer that incorporates AI.
In fact, it’s a smart idea to take Publisher’s components and disperse them into more commonly used, mainstream applications. This will allow people who use Publisher to continue to use its functionality in other applications without having to worry regarding Office 365. Added unwanted redundant applications.
