EPM will introduce a per-rule option to run elevated apps with the original user’s identity context, preserving app data, save locations, and preferences. This offers a more personalized app runtime experience compared to the default virtual account.
Accelerate your custom connector development with intelligent schema guidance directly in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. This feature provides:
* Proposed schema suggestions tailored to the connector you’re building.
* Real-time recommendations to identify gaps or errors in your schema design to help improve search and chat results in Copilot.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing connector, this enhancement ensures your schema is optimized for Copilot extensibility and performance.
We’re introducing new options that allow admins and developers to enrich their custom Copilot connectors and its schema properties with descriptive metadata.
With this update, you can now: * Provide richer context about the connection and its schema properties to Copilot’s LLM, enabling more accurate and relevant responses. Add alternate names, data source categories, common actions to your connector and description for schema properties. * Improve search and chat quality by helping Copilot better understand the semantics and purpose of your data.
We’re updating Endpoint Privilege Management to allow users who are not assigned as the primary user of a device to initiate support approval requests. Previously, these requests would fail, but with this change, they will be processed successfully.
This feature enables connectors to resolve external identities—such as email addresses or user IDs from third-party data sources—to their corresponding Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) identities. By allowing flexible identity mapping, developers can:
* Simplify integration workflows without needing complex Graph API lookups.
* Reduce setup friction by avoiding strict dependency on object IDs.
* Improve search and chat relevance in Copilot by ensuring accurate people attribution across connected systems.
The navigation pane has been repositioned from the right side to the left, offering a more intuitive layout. Despite the shift, it continues to host agents and conversation history, ensuring continuity in user experience. This redesign introduces new features, including access to the “All Conversations” page, which provides a comprehensive view of chat history. The change aims to enhance usability and streamline navigation within Copilot Chat.
Copilot-licensed enterprise users will benefit from Enhanced Personalization in Microsoft 365 Copilot through a new communication memory that further improves personalization by increasing the relevance and quality of responses based on previous communications. Communications memory is private to the user and based purely on communications the user has access to.
Microsoft Teams is launching a redesigned Workflows app in August 2025, improving automation with a faster, simpler interface powered by Power Automate. It features natural language flow creation, a new template library, and works across chats, channels, and SharePoint, requiring no admin setup and preserving existing workflows.
SharePoint now offers secure sharing links for videos, allowing broader access even without site permissions. New dialogs provide options to create sharing links or copy videos to the site. This feature is on by default, rolling out from mid-July to early August 2025. Prepare by updating users and support resources.
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.
