The Skills agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot will retire by the end of March 2026, with removal from new installations by March 16, 2026. Skills data is now integrated directly in Copilot and available via the Learning and Workforce Insights agents. Users should transition and reconfigure delegation accordingly.
Microsoft Teams is updating Channel Agent with customized welcome messages, user control over agent creation, improved scheduling, member addition via prompts, and direct channel posting. Requires Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Rolling out March 2026 for Teams on all platforms; admins should enable and inform helpdesk staff.
We’ve released updates to the following update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps:
Meeting organizers can now easily delete meeting generated content including recording, transcript, AI summary, and notes through the new delete button in recap page. Shared files in the meeting won’t be deleted.
OneDrive desktop sync users now get clearer, more actionable error messages when file paths exceed the supported 520-character limit. The updated experience shows exactly how many characters a path exceeds the limit and points users to the specific folder location where they can shorten names to resolve the issue. When multiple files in the same folder are affected, a single consolidated message guides users to the right location, reducing error noise and making resolution faster. Available on both Windows and Mac.
Once a Copilot Chat user has finished researching, creating, and collecting content in Copilot Pages, they can take it to a SharePoint News Post with the press of ‘SharePoint’ button under ‘Create’.
Copilot in Viva Glint now generates AI-powered summaries of employee survey results directly within Team Summary and Executive Summary reports, helping leaders quickly understand strengths, opportunities, and trends across their teams. Copilot Highlights surfaces key insights – such as notable score changes, benchmark comparisons, and response rate confidence – so leaders can move from data to action faster. With general availability, Copilot Highlights expands to support multilingual summaries, enabling global organizations to deliver AI-generated survey insights in their preferred language.
Managing your email automation in Outlook is now effortless with name search built into your key productivity tools. You can search within Rules, Conditional Formatting, Quick Steps, and Search Folders, filtering the list by name so you jump straight to the item you need. Whether you have dozens of rules or a growing library of quick steps, just type a few characters to narrow down results instantly. No more scrolling through long lists to find the right one, search puts you in control. Stay organized and make changes faster, right where you need them. #newoutlookforwindows
A new Data Security Investigations (DSI) mitigation action, soft purge, is now available to help admins quickly and efficiently soft-delete sensitive or overshared content during investigations. Content deleted using soft purge is retained until the deleted item retention period expires, allowing admins to have further control of their data. This addition works alongside DSI’s AI-powered content analysis features, such as categorization, AI search, and examination for risk, which help surface data security risks buried in data.
One-time email passcodes provide an easy way for tenant administrators and event organizers to verify anonymous, external presenters invited to their events. Anonymous external presenters will be shown with a “Verified” tag once completing the process. Based on admin settings, the event organizer will also have a set of options available to them that applies to all external presenters, providing the ability to control who is admitted to the meeting or allowing uninvited users with the link to be admitted from the lobby.
