The Impala connector will be retired and removed from Copilot Studio, Logic Apps, Power Apps, and Power Automate between April 1-14, 2026. Existing connections will stop working, and new ones won’t be allowed. Users should migrate to alternative connectors and update related documentation to avoid disruption.

Admins can now scope Purview collection policies for unmanaged cloud apps based on the presence of sensitivity labels, enabling more precise discovery of sensitive activity across inline network traffic and the Edge for Business browser.

Centralized notification settings streamline channel notification setup and management. Available in Teams settings, users have a single place to review and adjust notifications for all visible channels, instead of managing each individually.
Administrators will be able to assign multiple phone numbers (up to 10) to a single user. Users will be able to make and receive phone calls using any number assigned to them without switching accounts or devices.
