Improvements to Microsoft 365 Copilot controls in the Microsoft Teams admin center are rolling out from April to May 2025.

Microsoft Viva Amplify will soon support sending mail with sensitivity labels in Microsoft Outlook. In tenants where admins have enabled sensitivity labels on email, users will see the Sensitivity label menu in the Outlook audience selector in Amplify.

When an email is sent from Amplify, the received email will have the appropriately sensitivity label.
If you have not set up sensitivity labels in your tenant, this feature will not impact your tenant.
Microsoft Designer will be integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot as “Design suggestions” for users with a Copilot license.
