We will be replacing the existing My Groups experience at mygroups.microsoft.com with a new and improved My Groups, now available at myaccount.microsoft.com/groups in mid-May 2023.
My Groups enables end users to easily manage groups, such as finding groups to join, managing groups they own, and managing existing group memberships. Based on customer feedback, we’ve also added:
In our continued efforts to be in line with latest published definitions, and to improve the accuracy of out-of-the box sensitive information types (SIT), we have updated the definition of 4 existing SITs.

The Viva Engage experience has now arrived! You can discover this experience through search by searching for Viva, or Engage, as well as navigate to the experience via the setup tab, and then click on the Viva Collection.

On Wednesday, February 1, 2023, Twitter made the following announcement: “Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead”
On February 14th, we first notified you about the possible impact to our service because of these changes. We have been working with Twitter to explore an agreement that would result in uninterrupted service – however at this point, there will be imminent disruption in our service connection with the Twitter API.
In October we announced at Microsoft Ignite that SharePoint Syntex will be rebranded to become Microsoft Syntex. As a continuation of this, the service listings on Service health and Message center will also be rebranded. In the month of March, the service titled “SharePoint Syntex” will be retitled “Microsoft Syntex”.
When this will happen:
Creating external networks in Yammer and Viva Engage will now require verified admin privileges for reasons of security and system reliability.

Rules can be created for lists and libraries to send automatic email notifications based on events in the target list or library. Previously, these email notifications were sent from SharePoint Online <no-reply@sharepointonline.com>.
In order to improve the security of the rules feature, email notifications will now be sent from the email account of the user who last modified the rule. If the rule was newly created, this will be the creator’s email address. We apologize for the delay in communicating this announcement and any inconveniences caused.
As a part of our extensibility vision and first release to Microsoft Graph, we are introducing three new APIs for retention labels, events, and event types in the Microsoft Graph beta environment. These APIs will enable you to customize and extend on what we have built in the product so far.
These APIs can be used by compliance admins and developers to manage retention labels in Data Lifecycle and Records Management solutions.
Recently we found out that we had a typo in our public IP documentation – Network requirements 20.23.198.120 should be 20.23.199.120 and 20.99.133.218 should be
20.99.132.218.
I've been working with Microsoft Technologies over the last ten years, mainly focused on creating collaboration and productivity solutions that drive the adoption of Microsoft Modern Workplace.
