This feature introduces confidence scoring and reasoning trace explainability into the Data Security Triage Agent in DLP, addressing a critical trust gap reported across multiple customers. Today, without transparency into why the agent makes a decision or how confident it is, analysts are forced to fall back to manual review — completely negating the automation value. The feature will surface a reasoning trace alongside each agent decision and a confidence score, giving analysts a clear signal of how reliable the agent’s output is. This provides SOC teams with an auditable, explainable output they can validate rather than blindly trust, enabling them to progressively increase reliance on automation over time.
Previously, auto expanding archive mailbox expansion was supported only up to 1.5 TB, after which mailboxes would become inoperative. Archive mailboxes can now automatically expand beyond the 1.5 TB limit, ensuring uninterrupted retention and enabling scalable archive growth as storage thresholds are reached. This capability will be offered as a consumption‑based feature for auto expanding archive beyond 1.5 TB and will be billed at $0.25 per GB per month (or $0.0082 per GB per day).
Microsoft Teams Customer Connect will add appointment booking via a website widget, allowing customers to schedule meetings that sync with staff Outlook calendars and Teams channels.

Microsoft Teams on macOS will support annotations on single application window sharing, allowing participants to draw and highlight without sharing the entire desktop. Rolling out from early to late May 2026, this feature enhances privacy and collaboration with no admin changes needed.
Microsoft Purview introduces a File Quarantine action for SharePoint and OneDrive DLP policies, isolating violating files in an admin-controlled quarantine site with a tombstone placeholder.
