Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint will soon feature a new PDF annotation layout with tools in a single row, including a pixel-by-pixel eraser. The rollout begins late March 2025 and completes by mid-April 2025. No admin action is required, but user notification and documentation updates are recommended. More details at Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 483156.
We are adding two new SharePoint themes to our Change the Look menu. The addition of Black and Cerulean will enhance your site customization options for how you want your sites to look.
We have an update to the OneDrive sync app advanced settings for Files On-Demand on Windows. Previously, a toggle was shown to allow users to opt out of Files On-Demand. After this change, users who have Files On-Demand enabled will no longer see that toggle. Instead, users will see two buttons: Download files as you open them and Download all files now.

With File Request feature in SharePoint Document Library, users have an easy and secure way to request and obtain files from anyone. Users can choose a folder in SharePoint Document Library where others can upload files using a link that is shared with them. Users you request files from can only upload files; they can’t see the content of the folder, edit, delete, or download files, or even see who else has uploaded files.

We’re making changes to Microsoft Search. This update will allow Microsoft Search administrators to change result layouts for select SharePoint content using adaptive cards with Result Type feature in Microsoft Search administration.
The default result layouts for SharePoint sites, pages, list items and Portable document format (PDF) results can now be replaced with layouts built using adaptive cards. The changes can be made for Organization level search applicable to Office.com and SharePoint home as well as site level search on SharePoint sites. Changes for Microsoft Search in Bing will be rolled out soon. Note that the feature does not support changing of Office file search results.

We will be retiring 3 entry points to access contents from the SharePoint mobile app; instead, we recommend the utilization of the search bar, save for later, and other avenues in the SharePoint mobile app to access any content. These spaces were just shortcuts to access contents, but the users can still access them in SharePoint just not at these spaces after the retirement.
When this will happen:
We’re improving Link settings by providing more helpful tooltips, definitions and clearer language to help you understand which link type and permissions best suit your needs prior sharing a file or folder to your coworkers. We’ve also added a quick at-a-glance view of all the collaborators that currently have access which also serves as an entry-point to Manage Access to provide you with even more granular control.
