Copilot is changing quickly, but I think the important story this time is less about individual features and more about how they fit together. This has been posted in many channels already, so rather than repeating every announcement, here are the takeaways I think are important from the upcoming changes.The Copilot app is changing what users see and how they work, while usage-based billing

As Microsoft continues to expand the extensibility options available across Microsoft 365 Copilot, governance is becoming an increasingly important consideration for administrators. New capabilities make it easier to build, publish, and discover agents, plugins, skills, and other Copilot extensions, but they also introduce new decisions around control, ownership, and user access.In this post, I

If you've been following Microsoft Purview lately, you've probably noticed a steady stream of updates across compliance, lifecycle management, and risk management. This month brings several changes that stood out to me, particularly for organizations working with retention, governance, and Insider Risk Management.In this article, we'll look at three upcoming Microsoft Purview changes that may be

Agents are moving beyond individual Copilot experiences and into a broader operational landscape. Organizations may soon manage agents built on several platforms, operating under different identities, permissions, and levels of autonomy. That makes inventory, usage reporting, observability, and lifecycle management increasingly important.The updates covered in this post show Microsoft Agent 365

As Copilot and Power Platform continue to converge, Microsoft is reducing the barriers to building apps and agents while bringing governance, identity management, and administrative visibility closer to existing Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra controls.In this post, we'll look at a new Copilot-powered app-building experience in Microsoft Copilot Cowork and changes to how Copilot Studio agent

Data protection controls are often most effective when they are both easy to deploy and difficult to bypass. Recent Microsoft Purview announcements focus on both sides of that equation, removing some long-standing deployment and licensing requirements while expanding protection coverage in areas that were previously out of scope.In this post, we'll look at three updates affecting browser-based

As Microsoft 365 Copilot becomes a larger part of everyday work, governance and compliance requirements are evolving alongside it. Recent Microsoft Purview announcements focus less on new Copilot capabilities and more on the policies, retention controls, and user guidance needed to support enterprise adoption.In this post, we'll look at three updates that affect how organizations manage Copilot

Over the past few weeks, several user-focused enhancements have appeared in the Microsoft 365 Message Center. While none of the updates covered in this post currently have corresponding Microsoft 365 Roadmap entries, they provide a useful look at upcoming changes that users may start noticing across Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot, OneDrive, and SharePoint in the coming months.Microsoft 365

In this post, I'll take a closer look at three recent Message Center announcements that I think are worth paying attention to. On the surface, they introduce very different capabilities, but they all illustrate how Microsoft is continuing to extend Copilot's access to information, whether that information lives in OneDrive, within Copilot conversations, or in external platforms connected by

Microsoft continues to invest heavily in Microsoft Purview, and the latest announcements include updates across information protection, data lifecycle management, and security operations. While the features target different areas of the platform, they all address a challenge many organizations are facing: managing growing amounts of information while maintaining control, governance, and

Welcome to the sixth and final installment of my summer roundup series. Over the past few posts, I've covered updates related to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, security, compliance, identity, and the mobile experience.This final roundup focuses on a theme that has appeared repeatedly throughout many of Microsoft's summer announcements: governance.

Welcome to the fifth installment of my summer roundup series. This time, I'm focusing on the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile experience and how Microsoft continues to blur the lines between productivity, content creation, and AI assistance while users are away from their desks.The updates in this post are centered around two changes to the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app. One introduces a new way

Welcome to the fourth installment of my summer roundup series. While Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI features have dominated many of the recent headlines, Microsoft has also announced several important changes in Microsoft Entra ID that deserve attention from identity and security administrators.In this post, I'll highlight two updates related to authentication and access management.

In the first two installments of this summer roundup series, I focused primarily on Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, and productivity features. This time, I'm turning my attention to security, compliance, and data protection.Over the summer, Microsoft announced a couple of changes that security and compliance teams should be aware of. Some of these updates expand visibility into user activity across

In my first summer roundup post, I highlighted a handful of Microsoft 365 and Copilot updates that were announced while many of us were enjoying some well-deserved time away from our desks. As it turns out, there was plenty more to talk about.This second installment focuses on several new capabilities coming to Microsoft Teams and Copilot Notebooks.

While many of us have been enjoying some well-deserved summer leave, Microsoft certainly hasn't slowed down. Over the past few months, we've seen a steady stream of announcements across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Viva, and the broader AI platform, with new features, administrative controls, and service changes arriving at a rapid pace.This post is the first in a short summer roundup series

Microsoft is rolling out two new Microsoft 365 Copilot enhancements: the ability to use Outlook emails as references in Copilot Notebooks and a built-in Copilot drafting experience in Outlook. Both features are enabled by default for licensed users and are currently rolling out worldwide.Outlook emails can now be used as references in Microsoft 365 Copilot NotebooksMicrosoft has introduced the

If you've been following recent SharePoint, Search, and Copilot announcements, you may have noticed a pattern. Microsoft has released several related updates over the past few weeks that all point in the same direction: stronger governance of how content is discovered, surfaced, and accessed across Microsoft 365. Taken together, these changes strengthen the relationship between SharePoint

Identity and authentication never stand still, and Microsoft has over the past few weeks announced several updates that continue the shift toward a passwordless future. The common theme is stronger security combined with a better user experience, whether that means making passkeys the preferred authentication method, introducing more flexible passkey management in Entra ID, or simplifying device

Across recent Microsoft 365 updates, Copilot continues to evolve along three distinct tracks: adoption, integration, and control. Some changes lower the barrier to entry through self-service capabilities, others embed Copilot deeper into core workloads like task management, and a few introduce more precise ways to influence how results are generated. In this post, I take a closer look at three

At Microsoft Build, it was clear that Copilot is evolving quickly, not just as a helpful assistant but as something much more proactive. I have already covered a lot of Copilot Chat features in previous posts, and most recently Microsoft Cowork, which introduced a new way of collaborating with AI. Now it is time to look at what might be the most interesting step so far. Microsoft Scout is not

Here are a few recent updates across Microsoft 365 that are worth keeping an eye on. Two of them focus on Microsoft Word, where Copilot continues to evolve with both deeper document capabilities and expanded AI model choice. The third update shifts over to Purview, strengthening how sensitivity labels control content analysis across Office apps. Together, these changes highlight how document

Here are a few recent updates coming to Microsoft Purview that are worth keeping an eye on if you manage retention, data protection, or content cleanup across Microsoft 365. All three changes are aimed at giving administrators more control over how content is retained, quarantined, or permanently removed in SharePoint and OneDrive, and two of them also connect quite directly to how organizations

Here are two updates on Entra and security worth keeping on your radar over the summer. Both touch identity in different ways. One tightens how users prove who they are during password resets, and the other quietly adjusts licensing for organizations working with AI agents. Neither are big on its own, but in order to stay up to date and current, admins will have to makes some small changes.SSPR
