A new Recommended Actions page will be added to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal’s Analytics & Reports section by late November 2025, providing IT admins with proactive device and account recommendations. It requires Teams Rooms Pro or Shared Devices licenses and offers future space and usage guidance without affecting end users.
Starting October 2025, the Microsoft 365 Copilot app for Windows will show a non-blocking “Update available” button, allowing users to update immediately or later without interrupting use. No admin action is needed, and the update ensures access to new features and improvements.
SharePoint Site Lifecycle Management now supports custom site inclusion via CSV upload of up to 10,000 URLs for precise policy enforcement. The inactivity period setting moved to the Configuration page. This feature is available worldwide by default, requiring no extra setup. Admins should prepare CSV files and update documentation accordingly.
Starting October 31, 2025, Microsoft Purview’s inline protection of sensitive text in Edge for Business will require a paid public preview with pay-as-you-go billing via the In Transit Protection meter. Organizations must link an Azure subscription or lose this protection for unmanaged cloud apps.
We are announcing the ability to use process maps as a part of your plan in Power Apps. This feature will reach general availability on October 17, 2025.
Users can now perform the following actions on the mini-calendar in the #newoutlookforwindows, allowing them to view custom date selections on their calendar. Click and drag to select multiple weeks at a time. Using Shift+click or CTRLl+click will select non-consecutive dates. Moving months via the arrow icons in the mini-month will also update the main calendar surface.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Before, Copilot Studio agent builders would need to use the default icon or manually upload their own image. This process meant browsing the web for an image, asking different teams for icons, or manually drawing one. Users can now use AI to describe how the icon should look like, thus helping inform end users of the agent’s function more easily, with more expression. Users can now generate icons using AI in the lite version of Copilot Studio in M365. Users can enter custom prompts or use the description of the agent to generate the icon. Alternatively, users can manually upload their own icon or select from a set of pre-created icons. Icons are capped at 1 MB (192px).
Track and audit agent-related admin actions in Microsoft 365 admin center via Purview unified audit logs. This feature enables visibility into agent configuration changes—such as publishing, blocking, updating, or removing agents. Integrated with Purview’s audit search and reporting tools, it helps organizations meet regulatory standards and maintain oversight of agent management.
Library is a central, visual-first space in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app where users can easily access their Copilot-generated content like images and pages – as well as Copilot-generated content shared with them.
