Microsoft Information Protection: Maintain label and protection when creating PDF files from VBA in Office apps

This feature is for VBA developers who use Office fixed format export functions to create PDFs from documents with sensitivity labels and encryption.

Microsoft Teams user request configuration to external systems (URL redirect)

Microsoft Teams apps help facilitate collaboration and enhance team productivity. Some organizations choose to control which apps their users can use, blocking apps from use until IT has reviewed and approved them.
