We’ve released updates to the following update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps:
Admins can now set separate retention policies for Copilot and AI app interactions in Microsoft Purview, allowing faster deletion if needed. This feature, rolling out from mid-March to May 2026, enhances data lifecycle management and compliance controls for generative AI content.
Outlook for iOS and Android will add an option to search all filtered messages when more exist beyond locally synced items, improving clarity without changing sync behavior or admin settings. This rollout begins mid-March 2026 and requires no admin action. Users applying filters like Unread or Flagged are affected.
Starting late March to April 2026, Microsoft 365 Copilot app will allow admins to add a branded footer with their organization’s logo, confirming a trusted Copilot environment. This feature is off by default, requires admin setup via the Microsoft 365 admin center, and affects all tenants using the app.
Microsoft Fabric will introduce workspace-level IP firewall rules in Public Preview from mid-January to early March 2026, allowing workspace admins to restrict inbound access by IP allowlists. Tenant admins control this feature via a toggle in the Fabric admin portal, enhancing workspace data security.
Starting March 23, 2026, on-demand synchronization for eDiscovery cases and searches created or managed via PowerShell cmdlets will be disabled, causing them not to appear or sync in the eDiscovery UX. Organizations must use Microsoft Graph APIs for UX visibility or continue cmdlet use without synchronization.
We are introducing a new URL click alert that proactively notifies security teams when a user clicks on a malicious link in Teams, helping organizations quickly identify risk and respond before further impact occurs.
The default chat experience with Copilot in Word now allows Copilot to directly edit your document. All changes made by Copilot are fully reviewable and reversible, and users can turn this experience off if needed.
View and control live transcription during a meeting from a Teams
Rooms on Android device. The real-time transcript includes speaker names and
timestamps. You can adjust settings such as spoken language, translated
language, and whether both original and translated transcripts are displayed
side by side on the front of room display. This feature is available in Teams Rooms Pro.
I've been working with Microsoft Technologies over the last ten years, mainly focused on creating collaboration and productivity solutions that drive the adoption of Microsoft Modern Workplace.
