Mail categories will be available in Microsoft Outlook for iOS starting early May 2024, with full rollout by mid-May. This feature, already accessible to Apple TestFlight customers, allows users to view and apply categories to emails. No admin action is required, but user notification is suggested.
Classic Teams will end support on July 1, 2024, and availability on July 1, 2025. Users will see informational banners starting April 2024 and experience non-dismissible dialogs post-availability end. Users should update their OS and address installation issues to prepare for the transition.
Microsoft is retiring the “Cloud Discovery anomaly detection” policy from Defender for Cloud Apps due to high false positives. Rollout begins early June 2024 and ends late July 2024. Affected users should switch to “App discovery policy” and set filters as needed.
The Microsoft 365 Apps admin center now allows admins to deactivate Cloud Update for specific channels, with immediate effect for onboarded customers. This feature does not change existing settings and devices will be updated within 30 minutes of deactivation. Deactivation is not available for legacy servicing profiles.
Loop components will be available in Microsoft OneNote, enhancing collaboration and productivity. Rollout for OneNote Web starts early April 2024, and for the Desktop App, early June 2024. Users can insert Loop components for real-time collaboration. Admins should update policies and documentation to prepare. Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 379968 is associated with this update.
Viva Goals will allow users to attach images to check-in notes and dashboard updates. This feature will be generally available in early May 2024, with no other functionality changes for users with existing permissions. Documentation will be updated before the rollout. No admin action is required.
Microsoft Viva Goals will soon introduce custom check-in templates for new teams, with automatic application for goal owners. The feature will be available worldwide by late April 2024, and it will be enabled by default for new teams, but not for existing ones.
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.
