We’ve released updates to the following update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps:
We are announcing the Review agent activity feature for Microsoft Copilot Studio. This feature allows you to understand your agents’ activities, including the trigger that initiated the run, the actions called by the orchestrator, the inputs and outputs of the actions and the transcripts of each session. This feature will reach general availability on April 30, 2025.
We are announcing the ability to deploy custom-built agents to SharePoint. This feature will reach general availability on May 20, 2025.
We are announcing the ability for administrators to discover, install, and manage agents across Dataverse environments with guided experience in Microsoft Copilot Studio. This feature will reach general availability on June 20, 2025.
Experience enhancements to IRM alert investigation workflow including updates to the alert’s “All risk factors” page and activity explorer. These enhancements will give customers the ability to maximize the visual space for their investigation. We are adding to each component a minimize/ maximize button and hiding the horizontal banner on the Alerts pages by default. We are also enhancing the All Risk Factors page for better UX.
To improve clarity and transparency, we’re updating the audit data for events related to Microsoft Purview role group membership changes. This update affects audit events under the SecurityComplianceRBAC workload (RecordType 87), specifically for operations for GrantPermission, DeletePermission. While the audit schema remains unchanged, the PreExecutionMessage and PostExecutionMessage fields will be refined to better reflect the nature of the changes captured in the logs. Action Required: If your organization consumes these audit log events programmatically (e.g., via scripts or automation tools), please review and update your parsing logic to accommodate the enhanced message content. Rollout Timeline: This change will be rolled out starting in August. We recommend validating your systems against the updated message format as soon as it becomes available in your environment.
Insider Risk Management is releasing the ability to select multiple Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies as triggering events in a policy. Previously, admins could only select one DLP policy as a triggering event within Insider Risk Management policies. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
Copilot users will now be able to summarize PDF, Word, and PowerPoint email attachments in classic Outlook for Windows.
Threads in channels allow you to start a side conversation within a channel and focus on specific topics while keeping the main conversation clutter-free. You can reply to specific messages and create a separate thread, helping to minimize distractions and foster better collaboration.
