Out of Box filters “File Type” and “Last Modified” will be getting an UI upgrade. From the right side panel these filters move in line with Search Results on top of the results list. This helps users discover and use these out of box filters easily.
Filters can also be defined on Custom verticals. Custom filters can be defined on datetime and string, refinable properties.
We’re making some changes to the Microsoft Secure Score advanced feature setting. This setting was originally created as a way to forward Microsoft Defender for Endpoint signals to Microsoft Secure Score which gave Microsoft Secure Score visibility into the device security posture.
As previously announced in (MC257152 – May), (MC288052 – Sept), (MC298657 – Nov), and (MC306663- Dec), the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) provides legacy browser support within Microsoft Edge. Because of this, the IE11 desktop application will be retired on June 15, 2022. This means that the IE11 desktop application will no longer be supported and afterwards will redirect to Microsoft Edge if a user tries to access it.
With 5 months left before retirement, we highly recommend you start preparing for this multi-month transition today. The essential first step—Site Discovery—typically takes 3-4 weeks. Site Discovery identifies legacy-dependent sites in your organization based on user traffic. Don’t delay and get started on your transition today.
As previously messaged (MC276896 – Aug 2021), we have finished migrating the encryption reports from the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center to the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center. As part of the migration, we will be retiring the Top 5 recipient domains encryption reports.
Note: Other encryption reports are unaffected.
Message center posts will include monthly active users (based off the past 28 days) specific to the Microsoft 365 service change being communicated.
This will help change coordinators and IT admins make a decision on which change they should address first vs deprioritize, based on the potential number of end users who could be impacted by a change eg: If the change is about a service which has 0 active users for your organization, you should be able to deprioritize the change.
As users of Microsoft Search in Bing, you are already familiar with finding Teams and Yammer conversations via the Conversations vertical. We are pleased to inform that the Conversations vertical experience in Microsoft Search in Bing will be enhanced with Email messages. Going forward the Conversations vertical will contain Teams conversations and Email Messages. We expect that this feature will bring additional value to Microsoft Search in Bing experience for the users in your organization and make it more complete search experience.
Search results from Yammer, that is currently supported within the Conversations vertical in Microsoft Search in Bing, will appear in its own vertical. A future enhancement on the Yammer vertical will bring in a richer search experience.
We are introducing a new capability to better manage the lifecycle of documents labeled as a record. This new feature enables Records Management administrators to create retention labels that will mark contents in SharePoint and OneDrive as records but will not be “locked” (restricted for edits) until a user manually locks it. This will help customers who use automatic or default labeling of content which includes documents in a draft state which are not yet final and will need to become a locked record until they reach this stage of their lifecycle. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 roadmap ID 88509.
When this will happen:
Coming soon to public preview, hold reports in Advanced eDiscovery allows organizations to access built-in reports with information about all legal holds associated with eDiscovery cases in the Microsoft 365 compliance center.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 roadmap ID 88540.
