Microsoft Viva Learning will introduce a spell check feature for search queries, correcting errors automatically. Users can override corrections if needed. Available in all supported languages, this feature requires enabling optional connected experiences. Rollout begins late January 2025 and completes by late February 2025. Admin and user documentation is provided.
SharePoint Online is updating Microsoft Lists forms to include new features such as notifications, form scheduling, conditional branching, quick form creation, and additional field-type support. The rollout begins in January 2025 for Targeted Release and mid-February 2025 for General Availability, completing by late March 2025. No admin action is required.
Microsoft Viva’s Feature Access Management will support the AI admin role starting mid-February 2025. AI admins can manage Copilot features without extensive Global admin permissions. This includes current and future Copilot features in Viva. No admin action is required for the rollout. More details are available here.
Before this rollout, users can apply a sensitivity label to a non-Office file or a PDF file in Microsoft Windows to apply protection that encapsulates the file into a .pfile file type that can verify user authorization and rights on the file. A user who needs to modify and collaborate with others on a .pfile can use Microsoft Purview Information protection (MPIP) to remove the label and protection on the .pfile, make changes, and then reapply the label and protection to the updated file.
After this rollout, Microsoft Purview Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (EDLP) will be able to simplify and protect the collaboration experience in managed Windows devices in conjunction with the MPIP client. Non-Office files and PDF files stored on managed devices will be labeled while retaining their original file types to allow a user to modify and update the file on their device. When a user copies and uploads a labeled file to a destination external to their Windows device, EDLP will help enforce the rights protection by converting the file to a .pfile for secure sharing to other users. If the other users are also protected with EDLP, they can use MPIP to remove the label on the shared files before collaborating.
We are excited to announce the upcoming Viva Glint M365 Tenant Administrator role in Microsoft Entra. With this role, admins will have dedicated permissions to manage Viva Glint-related settings in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (MAC), without requiring the elevated privileges of Global or User admin roles. This role is essential for users who need to: read and configure all settings of Viva Glint in MAC, assign Viva Glint service admins, and create or manage Azure support tickets.
