We are announcing the ability to automate journey creation by using templates, existing segments, and messages in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys. This feature will reach general availability on October 10, 2025.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 will introduce message warnings in Microsoft Teams for messages containing URLs flagged as Spam, Phish, or Malware. Starting with a public preview in September 2025 and general availability in November 2025, warnings will appear for both recipients and senders, enabled by default and manageable via Teams Admin Center.
Today, IT admins in the Teams admin center can view security and compliance data for apps and agents that are Microsoft 365 certified or publisher attested.This enhancement expands that visibility to include apps and agents that are not certified or attested.Where available, this data is sourced from Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (MDA) and helps admins more easily and quickly evaluate whether an app or agent meets their organization’s trust requirements.
Customers can now customize their M365 profile cards by adding new properties such as Cost Center, Role, Employee Type, Employee ID and Division. These properties will show in the Contact Information section and can be ingested from external sources like HR systems, so that users’ profiles are enriched with relevant information.
Missed many messages? Copilot will automatically generate a summary of the new messages in a chat conversation, so you can catch up quickly without reading every message.
This feature will allow admins to specify a limited set of sites to exclude from web grounding in M365 Copilot and Copilot Chat #copilotcontrolsystem
Administrators using the Microsoft 365 admin center and Teams admin center who manage agents and apps that work across Teams, Outlook and the Microsoft 365 copilot will be able to apply their changes consistently across all these surfaces. Before this update, changes made through the Integrated Apps section in the Microsoft 365 admin center would only affect these apps on Outlook and the Microsoft 365 copilot; similarly, changes made in the Teams admin center would exclusively affect Teams. With this change, app and agent availability will be unified across Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365 copilot.
Windows Backup for Organizations will be generally available in Intune with controls for backing up and restoring backups in OOBE. Backup and restore experience of user settings, especially for enterprises transitioning to Windows 11.
Starting October 27, 2025, Office Scripts settings for Excel will move from the Microsoft 365 admin center to the Microsoft 365 Cloud Policy service. Admins must manage three specific settings there; if unchanged, they default to enabled. No compliance issues identified; review and reconfigure as needed.
The Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel Preview for Microsoft 365 Apps ends support on September 9, 2025, with the August 2025 update as the last. Admins must transition devices to Monthly Enterprise or Current Channel, as updates will cease and no automatic changes will occur.
