Microsoft Purview | eDiscovery (Premium): Retirement of classic case format

We’re retiring the “classic” case format option from the eDiscovery (Premium) case creation page starting November 1, 2022.

Quick Access Teams and Sharepoint Document Libraries in win32 backstage

Currently, users experience some frustration when using Office products because of all different routes that they must use to access all their content. The Quick Access feature will allow users to access shared libraries from both their SharePoint and Teams locations. When the user opens files from shared libraries, these libraries will show up in the form of a list which will encourage users to save and open files to these libraries with ease. This helps deliver a more consistent, coherent storage location experience across M365 apps. This new backstage experience won’t show up in Teams, SharePoint, or OneDrive but does include storage locations from OneDrive and Teams (sites/channels) which are stored on SharePoint.

When this will happen:

Major Update to Stream Mobile App

We plan to release a completely rebuilt Stream mobile app for iOS and Android. The rebuilt app will give your users seamless access to Stream (Classic) and Stream (on SharePoint) videos as well as Teams meeting recordings. The app also includes a design refresh, a personalized home feed, and a rich video viewing experience.

If your users currently have the Stream mobile app installed on phones or tablets and they have automatic updates turned on, then they will automatically receive the app update when it becomes available to them. Users who have the Stream mobile app who have automatic updates turned off will receive the updated version when they explicitly update the app from the respective app/play store.

Before you move any site or list from SharePoint Server on-premises into Microsoft 365, it’s best practice to assess content and plan for the migration. The SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) will provide content assessment so cloud admins can best understand what content they have, decide what to migrate, and what to remediate. In this update, SPMT supports SharePoint Server migration assessment for versions 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019.
