Originally posted by Microsoft Jul 21, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

The Microsoft Edge management service, a new, dedicated and simplified management experience for Microsoft Edge in the Microsoft 365 admin center, is rolling out now for general availability. This tool allows IT admins to manage group policies and extensions with a simplified, intuitive UI. Admins can set policies through toggles and drop-down menus instead of the complexity of configuring JSON values, which helps reduce errors. This solution is another option for managing Edge that lives alongside Intune and other major endpoint solutions.

Global admins and Edge admins in the Microsoft 365 admin center can create and manage policies and extensions and assign these configurations to Azure AD groups using the intuitive UI. In the extensions tab, admins can access Edge Add-ons to search for, see ratings, add, and delete extensions, as well as view user extension requests, all in one easy-to-navigate location.

Find Related Search

Originally posted by Microsoft Jul 20, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Find Related is a quick way to search for similar emails, usually on threads, directly from the Message List. Currently supported by Win32 and requested for OWA (Microsoft Outlook on the Web)/Monarch, it relies on local search, which caused problems in the past. To mitigate future risks and pair clients it’s proposed to migrate Find Related to 3S and build support for it on OWA/Monarch.
