Microsoft 365 compliance center update: eDiscovery Premium Ability to Export Teams as Individual Messages

We are releasing the feature to provide the opportunity to choose the ability to export Microsoft Teams messages as individual messages in eDiscovery (Premium).

Today with large cases in eDiscovery (Premium), organizations can export Microsoft Teams conversations for up to 12 hours of the searched message. However, for many organizations, there is a need to export the searched messages as individual messages. This will enable you to export the messages of the Teams and Yammer data source as individual messages which match the searched criteria. This will enable the easy parity of the eDiscovery Standard and Premium functionality.

Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) Expanding to SMTP/Mailbox Forwarding

We’re making changes to SMTP forwarding from mailboxes in Exchange Online. This change will result in forwarded messages being rewritten with Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS).

We’ll further consolidate our rewriting feature for messages that are automatically forwarded outside of Exchange Online. Today, not all forwarded messages are rewritten using SRS. Messages forwarded with SMTP or mailbox forwarding have their P1 Mail From address replaced with the forwarding mailbox address. This behavior will change to use SRS rewriting instead. The change will be rolled out slowly, and it might take time to reach your organization.

Viva Goals: Date Picker in Check-in Modal to Show UTC Timezone

Previously in Viva goals, when making a check-in, the user could update the date of check-in from the check-in modal, which was based on the user’s local time zone. Users in different time zones saw the date of check-in and its representation on the progress graph differently, computation of progress and status also became a challenge. 

We are unifying the date picker to have the UTC date picker, which means that any Viva goals user making a check-in from any time zone will always see the same date and its representation on the progress graph will be consistent.
