Outlook: Checking feedback policy across all accounts

Currently, when we determine whether a user is entitled to submit feedback, we only look at the feedback policy for their primary (global) account. Going forward, we are going to make the feedback policy check more restrictive which is more secure. We’ll be looking at feedback policies for all users’ accounts and basing their eligibility off the most restrictive policy value found. For example, if any of the users’ accounts have Feedback disabled by a policy, we won’t show the Feedback button in the Help tab of the ribbon for any of their accounts. #newoutlookforwindows

Outlook: Updates to mail sharing functionality with Cloud Policy Service when setting “Turn off sharing recommendation”

Updates to the office Cloud Policy Service setting “Turn off sharing recommendation” will disable the ability for users to share folders with individual users. Currently, the policy blocked users’ ability to update default and anonymous permission levels for shared folders. This functionality will remain and will not be changed. The current policy and how it works with calendar sharing will not be impacted by this change and will remain as implemented. #newoutlookforwindows

Microsoft Edge: Elevating top settings and improving settings page navigability

To make finding browser settings more efficient, Microsoft Edge is introducing three navigation improvements to Edge Settings. We are making no changes to the functionality of any setting and all settings will remain on the same page as they are today but will be behind clickable sections. The first is introducing quick access to the most used actions on the landing page of Edge Settings. Second, each densely populated page—Privacy, search, and services; Appearance; Cookies and site permissions; System and performance—will feature quick access to its most used actions. Third, for these same pages, each section will now click-through to its respective sub-settings (similar to a table of contents).
