We are announcing the ability to use the modern architecture for Project Operations Integrated with ERP scenarios on the Microsoft Dataverse platform in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This feature will reach general availability on March 13, 2026.
Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat will update entity inserts from Add Work Content so entity names no longer appear as text in the input box, enabling cleaner prompts. This change rolls out worldwide from mid to late February 2026, is enabled by default, and requires no admin action.
SharePoint Designer 2013 will reach end of support on July 14, 2026, with no extensions offered. Organizations must migrate workflows to supported tools like Power Automate using the SharePoint Migration Tool before this date, as Microsoft will stop providing updates or fixes after retirement.
The Outlook for Windows Usage Report in the Exchange admin center will be retired between mid-April and mid-May 2026. Admins must use the Microsoft 365 admin center for Outlook usage insights. No impact on Outlook functionality; no admin action needed, but update related documentation.
Starting May 15, 2026, Microsoft Teams on the web will require browsers compliant with ECMAScript 2022. Unsupported browsers will show reminders until then, after which access will be blocked. Desktop and mobile clients are unaffected. Organizations should update browsers and inform users to ensure compliance.
We are announcing the ability to calculate revenue recognition for stand-alone selling price contract lines in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This feature will reach general availability on March 13, 2026.
Agent Mode in PowerPoint lets you create, edit, and refine presentations through natural conversation, directly in your presentation. You can start a new presentation or build on an existing one, asking Copilot to generate slides, update content, improve layouts, and polish design—while preserving formatting, structure, and branding. Copilot uses your files, meetings, emails, and more to help shape content and iterate quickly, and it connects to your brand kit so you can apply branded templates, insert brand‑approved images, and check for brand compliance. Available to Microsoft 365 Copilot–licensed users.
We’re updating permissions to ensure that all roles with access to view DLP policies in Microsoft Purview can also run diagnostics on those policies. This change enhances visibility and empowers authorized users to troubleshoot and validate policy behavior more effectively.

Organization Configuration
View-Only Configuration
Compliance Admin
Security Admin
Security Reader
DLP Compliance Management
View-Only DLP Compliance Management
Insider Risk Management Admin
Information Protection Admin
Information Protection Analyst
Information Protection Investigator
Data Security AI Admin
Insider Risk Management is excited to announce the ability to preview content directly within an IRM alert without having to create a case. Users with appropriate permissions will be able to preview relevant files referenced directly within activity explorer in each alert.
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.
Meeting recordings now automatically inherit the meeting’s sensitivity label. When label inheritance is enabled in sensitivity label policies, a labeled meeting applies the same label to its MP4 recording, ensuring access controls, data handling rules, and Copilot or agent responses based on transcripts consistently respect the meeting’s sensitivity end to end.
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.
