Microsoft 365: eSignature Smart Tagging for Electronically Signed Documents

Documents that have been electronically signed will now be automatically recognized and tagged as “Signed” upon upload to SharePoint. This enhancement also applies retroactively as existing e-signed files will be updated with the appropriate tags. To give users more visibility and control, we’re introducing two optional metadata columns for document libraries: Electronically Signed – Indicates whether a document has been eSigned. Signature Provider – Displays the service used for the eSignature. This feature is available exclusively to tenants with eSignature enabled, helping streamline compliance tracking and document management.

Outlook: Chat for Outlook iOS and Android

On phone devices, users currently access Copilot Chat in Outlook Mobile via a tab at the bottom of their screen (or in Apps). Outlook is introducing a new Copilot Chat overlay experience, allowing users to chat with Copilot while continuing to interact with their email, calendar, and contacts. This overlay will be context-aware—understanding what the user is viewing—so users can ask Copilot about the content on their screen.

Users with M365 Copilot licenses will also benefit from Copilot’s ability to draw on Microsoft 365 Graph to provide richer, more personalized responses.

Microsoft Teams: Private channels increased limits and transition to group compliance

We are updating private channels to align with compliance model for all channels. After this change, compliance policies applied to the team (M365 Group) will apply to all channels in the team – across standard, private, and shared. Private channels will no longer need user level targeting of policies different from other channels, and private channel compliance messages will no longer be copied to user mailboxes, relying on a dedicated, internal mailbox per channel like shared channels. In addition, limits for private channels will be increased so each team can have more than 30 private channels, up to the 1000 total channel limit per team. Private channel member limits will increase from 250 to 5000. You will also be able to schedule meetings in private channels.
