Many of our largest customers, typically in the banking and financial industries, are governed by strict standards. Their employees have access to very sensitive data and can only access that data within the boundaries of a single country. Admins currently restrict access to sensitive data based on IP address. However, IP address is less accurate and less reliable than GPS data. Thus, admins need the ability to restrict access based off of GPS data.
Now, admins will have the ability to create Conditional Access policies to allow/deny access using a new type of Named Location based off GPS data. When the policy is enabled, end users will need to share their GPS location from the mobile device on which Microsoft Authenticator is installed. The user’s mobile device is a good indication of the user’s actual location at the time.

In August 2020, we announced that Microsoft Graph privacy controls (MC219941) would be available in the fourth quarter. These Microsoft Graph privacy controls allow administrators to more granularly configure the visibility of Graph-derived insights which includes documents and sites across Microsoft 365 apps and services. We also announced a six-month transition period before the new controls would replace classic Office Delve controls.
The transition and end-of-support for the classic Office Delve control and its respective settings will occur in mid-May 2021. We are also introducing controls that allow people in your organization to customize insights that are available to them and to their colleagues.

On modern SharePoint list and library pages, there’s a link in the lower left of the page that says “Return to classic SharePoint.” This link reverts the current list or library back to classic mode. On the classic page, there’s a corresponding link that says, “Exit classic experience.” Tenant administrators can now control whether these links appear. By default, these links are shown on all list and library pages to all users.
To remove the links, run the following PowerShell cmdlet:
