It seems Microsoft has posted several updated version of their Get Started guides to the Microsoft Download Center. These guides provide steps to quickly get up to speed on using the specific software or service the guide was written for.
These can make terrific teaching tools as you train yourself, a workforce or a user group on functionality for a program when people first start using it. It can also be a very good refresher for review when we have been using the service/software for a while.
Here are the guides that were updated over the last couple of days:
