Office 2016 for Mac users can get the updates by using Microsoft AutoUpdate. To do this, open a Microsoft Office program, and then click Check for Updates on the Help menu. Otherwise, the updates are also available for download and installation from the Microsoft Download Center:

One visual change from the initial public beta release is that Microsoft has decided the unifying color scheme of Office products should extend to the title bars at the top of windows. In the first beta, Excel's top bar was Yosemite-style monochrome, but there was a nod to Excel Green in the status bar at the bottom. In the final version of Office 2016, the title bar is full-on green in Excel, blue in Word, and so forth. It's bold and not quite Mac-like, but fits exactly with the look of the product on iOS. I kind of dig it, but if you want to flip the appearance so things are monochrome up top and colorful down at the bottom, you can--in the General section of the Preferences window, you can switch from the "Colorful" theme to the "Classic" model and that selection will be applied to all office apps.

According to Microsoft's blog post, the public beta was the largest Office for Mac beta ever, providing more than 100,000 pieces of feedback. In the post, Microsoft VP Kirk Koenigsbauer said that the company is committed to releasing updates and new features for Office for Mac "at least once per quarter." That's good news for Mac users who have gotten accustomed to a long, long time between major releases, with very little in the way of updates in between.

One final note: Since I was using the preview version of Office 2016 for Mac, it didn't automatically update me to the final version. But there was an easy workaround: I logged into office.com/myaccount, de-authorized my iMac as one of my Office installations, and then clicked to re-install. I downloaded a 1.16GB installer package, reinstalled, and was up and running without even needing to re-enter my Office 365 password.
