How does this affect me?
We’re improving behavior of Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MIP) content markings for headers and footers in Word to be more closely aligned with the behavior implemented by the Azure Information Protection (AIP) plugin for Office apps. This includes inserting header and footer content with the “in front of text” configuration so content markings won’t rearrange existing document content.

We’ve released updates to the following update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps:
VBA macros are a common way for malicious actors to gain access to deploy malware and ransomware.

Learn more in this blog post.
This change only affects Office on devices running Windows and only affects the following applications: Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and Word.
Over the last few months, the experiences and functions of Microsoft Defender for Identity have been made available in Microsoft’s extended detection and response (XDR) platform, Microsoft 365 Defender. Merging identity data and functions into this XDR experience is a valuable addition to a security teams capabilities, with identity providing important context to detection logic and investigation potential.
To enhance the identity experience further, we are making some changes to the User page in Microsoft 365 Defender. We are standardizing the look and feel to align with the other entity pages available in Microsoft 365 Defender. The structure and layout of all entities should be consistent after this release. These changes are pre-requisites for upcoming functionality, due to land later in the year.
