Hi @
You can configure Microsoft 365 Apps to get updates automatically from a location on your network, such as a network share. You can configure the update location by using the Office Deployment Tool or Group Policy.

First you need to specific the update path to local or network by using group policy for each PC with Office suite, please refer to this support article:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/configure-update-settings-microsoft-365-apps#use-group-policy-to-configure-update-settings-for-microsoft-365-apps

Then you can run the ODT to download the latest Office to the specific path or you can download and copy to the specific path, for download Office you can run this command:

 setup.exe /download xxxx.xml

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/overview-office-deployment-tool#download-the-installation-files-for-microsoft-365-apps

Then the user client can update Office from the specific path and install the latest updates.

Hope the information is helpful.

@emizhang-msft Thanks for your answer.

The setup.exe /download xxxx.xml command is for new installation right. New machine installation with network shred (Downloaded) files can be used for up-to-date.
What about the existing machine which is having Office and using the downloaded shared network folder can be useful?.
Ex: I have a server that is not connecting with the internet & not communicating with SCCM/WSUS. Here is how I can make office up-to-date Offline server?
