We will be turning on intra-organizational protection by default for high-confidence phishing messages that contain a malicious or spam-based URLs in Microsoft Defender for Office 365. We are doing this along with the handling of intra-organizational messages (MC577356).
When this will happen:
We have made some changes to date picker during check-ins.
When this will happen:
The Mail and Calendar apps for Windows are being replaced with the new Outlook for Windows. At the end of 2024 we will be ending support for the Mail and Calendar apps for Windows. The new Outlook for Windows helps people be more productive and in control of their inbox. We are excited about this change that will provide users with great new productivity features such as Microsoft Loop, message reminders, as well as file and people suggestions while composing an email. The new Outlook also offers more ways to stay in control with drag and drop emails as tasks, work hours and location, pinning and snoozing messages and many others.
How this will affect your organization:
Find Related is a quick way to search for similar emails, usually on threads, directly from the Message List. Currently supported by Win32 and requested for OWA (Microsoft Outlook on the Web)/Monarch, it relies on local search, which caused problems in the past. To mitigate future risks and pair clients it’s proposed to migrate Find Related to 3S and build support for it on OWA/Monarch.

Viva Pulse is a new employee feedback experience that is available for use with your Viva Suite subscription. Viva Pulse empowers managers and project team leaders to request and receive feedback from their teams at any time. Managers and project leads can choose from research-based templates to quickly create a survey and send it to select individuals or groups. They can also track feedback to understand team sentiment over time and show teams they’re being heard by working together to take clear steps to address needs.
With the upcoming release of Viva Pulse (MC613509 June ’23), we want to provide some additional information on steps to enable notifications.
Previously in Viva goals, when making a check-in, the user could update the date of check-in from the check-in modal, which was based on the user’s local time zone. Users in different time zones saw the date of check-in and its representation on the progress graph differently, computation of progress and status also became a challenge.
We are unifying the date picker to have the UTC date picker, which means that any Viva goals user making a check-in from any time zone will always see the same date and its representation on the progress graph will be consistent.
Microsoft 365 Apps are disabling server sign-in prompts using Basic authentication in Office Apps. We are making this change because basic authentication is a legacy authentication method that sends a username and password with each request. As a result, an attacker can access these credentials and use them to access resources. Continued use of Basic Authentication is a big security concern, so we have decided to deprecate it from all tenants.
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.
