After completing a search in Outlook, a user will see a Copilot entry point that will take them to an LLM generated summary of their search query (emails, Teams messages and documents) within their Copilot side pane. They will be able to interact further with Copilot to dig deeper into these results and take action items accordingly.
Users will receive a weekly notification in the Connections apps in Microsoft Teams on mobile and desktop linking them to relevant SharePoint news that they might have missed in the preceding week. This unread news will be available in the “News” tab in the Connections app under the “unread” pill.
When users report an email as junk in Outlook, they can now also unsubscribe if the sender supports it. This update, rolling out in July 2025, simplifies inbox management and reduces the need to manually block senders. No admin action is required.
Microsoft Teams will introduce the ability to pin the AppBar from the hamburger context menu, enhancing layout customization. This feature will be available worldwide from late July 2025, affecting all users without requiring admin configuration. No compliance issues are identified, and informing helpdesk staff is recommended.
A new unverified sender banner will be introduced in the reading pane of Outlook Mobile (iOS and Android) starting mid-July 2025. This feature helps identify messages from unverified senders, aligning with desktop and web versions. No admin action is required, but user awareness is recommended.
Microsoft is enhancing Copilot in classic Outlook for Windows to summarize email attachments (PDF, Word, PowerPoint) directly in the reading pane. This feature, available by late August 2025, requires no admin action and is on by default. It affects users licensed for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Microsoft 365 Copilot now includes Viva Engage discussion posts from public communities and Storylines as grounding sources, enhancing contextually relevant responses. This feature, rolling out from June to August 2025, requires no admin action and does not include private content. Review Viva Engage configurations and notify relevant parties.
Missed activity emails for Microsoft Teams will now come from the domain teams.mail.microsoft instead of teams.email.microsoft. This change will roll out in July 2025 with no impact on tenant configuration or admin settings. No action is required, but informing helpdesk or communications teams is recommended.
Users of the Microsoft Authenticator app on iOS will be able to back up account names—including Microsoft work or school accounts, Microsoft personal accounts, and third-party accounts like Amazon or Google—using iCloud and iCloud Keychain. This enables secure, end-to-end encrypted backup of account names and TOTP credentials. When setting up a new iOS device, account names will automatically appear in the app, and users can sign in to complete setup.
Documents signed via Adobe or DocuSign eSignature, when initiated through the SharePoint eSignature platform, will now be saved in the originating SharePoint folder instead of the default Apps folder. The originating folder is the folder where the starting document was located at the point of eSignature request initiation.
