What you need to know

The Windows 10 Settings app could gain a section to help people find new features.
The section was spotted recently but isn't enabled in any publicly released builds at the moment.
The section would also include guides on how to use new features.

Windows 10 regularly gains new features, but not everyone is aware of the additions to the operating system. While many readers here will know about features like OneDrive Files on Demand, the Your Phone app, and the shortcut to type emojis, many people do not. This new section highlights recently added features and has guides on how to use them.

The section is titled "What's New" and appears within the Update & Security section of the Settings app on Windows 10.
