Office 365 is a product continuously upgrading its features even as Microsoft continues to buy companies. The Microsoft products OneDrive and SharePoint are central to the collaboration features of Office 365. This feature appears after the April 2016 upgrade and allows you to collaborate in real time and do more with your documents.
Another Microsoft recent acquisition (Skype for Business) is also integrated with the Office 2016 so that you can directly access Skype from your Word document.
All these new features are accessed via The Ribbon according to information on Office site as shown here:

When you click to open (notice a small icon that looks like a book) the contacts list gets opened as shown.
