Microsoft Purview introduces collection policies for granular control over data signals collected on Windows endpoints, enhancing targeted discovery without enforcement actions. This affects multiple Purview solutions and requires enabling DLP Always audit. Rollout begins late July for Gov Clouds, with no immediate impact until configured.
Starting August 25, 2025, selected Microsoft Graph metered APIs will no longer incur usage charges. No client changes are needed, and final billing will follow the normal schedule. This update applies globally to all Microsoft 365 Graph API regions.
The Microsoft Intune In Development page for August 2025 has been updated with upcoming features to help organizations prepare. IT staff and helpdesk should be informed, and user guidance updated as needed. Changes will begin appearing within the next month or later releases.
We are announcing the public preview of Generative Pages. This new capability allows admins to simplify the app design process for model-drive apps using AI. This feature began rolling out to North America on July 22, 2025, and will become available in other regions at a later date.
Microsoft Edge will expand its existing “Ask Copilot” integration in the built-in PDF reader by introducing two new actions — “Summarize” and “Explain.” These options will allow users to generate a concise overview or simplify complex content within a PDF or selected portion. The new actions build on the existing “Ask Copilot” integration and follow the same enterprise controls and policies.
Save the audio overview that you have generated within a Copilot Notebook to OneDrive so you can download or share with others.
SharePoint eSignature users would be able to add custom free text fields to their request documents. This new eSignature field can be used to request information (such as address, full name, etc.) from signers.
Admins and developers can do a full refresh or sync of their datasource for Custom Connectors using Graph APIs. This also ensures that any items deleted in the source are automatically deleted during this full sync and admins do not have to use separate delete APIs to do this.
We’re adding support for property deletion in custom Copilot connectors, giving admins and developers more control over schema evolution. With this feature, you can:
* Use Copilot connector APIs to delete or drop individual schema properties that are no longer needed.
* Keep your connector schema clean and up-to-date without requiring full re-ingestion.
* Reduce developer overhead and simplify maintenance workflows as your data models evolve.
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.
