Feedback policies are being updated

We are updating the existing feedback policies to make the feedback we collect more actionable. User feedback goes directly to our engineers and helps us shape the future of Microsoft products and services for all our users. Microsoft will use this information to improve product experiences for users, including by improving the quality of AI-generated responses and troubleshooting product issues.

The feedback we collect from your users is available for you to review in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Keeping the feedback experiences enabled will let you see what your users are saying about the products they are using.
