Updated August 27, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Updated August 24, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] We’re introducing endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) events as a queryable data source in Data Security Investigations (DSI) in Microsoft Purview. With this update, administrators can build endpoint DLP queries directly in DSI using filters such as date range, and DSI will automatically pull files associated with those events into the investigation for analysis. This integration helps security teams examine endpoint DLP activity at scale, reducing time and effort spent triaging individual alerts and improving the ability to identify patterns and potential data exfiltration scenarios.

Updated August 14, 2026: We have updated this post as a reminder. We’re ready to begin the General Availability (GA) rollout of the new SharePoint experience on June 15, with deployment continuing over the subsequent months. Based on feedback from users in the preview program, we are simplifying item-keeping experiences across SharePoint and aligning on a single Favorites gesture that is consistent with the rest of Microsoft 365. As part of this change: Followed Sites will become Favorite Sites. Saved for Later for pages and news posts will become Favorites. This is a naming and experience update that will be reflected across all SharePoint surfaces where these experiences appear, providing a more consistent and streamlined experience for users across Microsoft 365. Existing followed sites and saved content will be preserved and automatically transition to the Favorites experience. Addit

Updated July 27, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Recap without saving transcript provides an alternative now for Copilot users to generate a meeting summary using live meeting context, in case where saving a meeting transcript or recording is not preferred or allowed. This capability is intended for scenarios where organizations want AI‑generated recaps but have policies that limit or prohibit the retention of transcripts or recordings. When disabled, no AI recap is generated. Existing Copilot licensing and tenant‑level AI controls continue to apply. This feature will be available to users with an M365 Copilot (Premium) license across platforms, including desktop (Windows and Mac), web, and mobile.

The passkeyType property enables admins to configure: Device-bound passkeys Synced passkeys Both If your tenant already has Passkeys (FIDO2) enabled and you do not opt in to passkey profiles during the initial rollout window, your tenant will be automatically migrated to the passkey profiles schema at the date range specified below.

Updated July 20, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Microsoft Entra passkeys on Windows will soon be Generally Available, enabling phishing‑resistant, passwordless sign‑in to Microsoft Entra‑protected resources from Windows devices.

Users can create device‑bound passkeys stored in the Windows Hello container and authenticate using Windows Hello methods (face, fingerprint, or PIN). This expands passwordless authentication support to Windows devices that aren’t Microsoft Entra‑joined or registered, helping organizations strengthen security and reduce reliance on passwords across corporate‑managed, personal, and shared device scenarios.

Updated July 15, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Microsoft is retiring the -Credential parameter used when connecting to Exchange Online PowerShell. Starting with module versions released in December 2026 and later, the -Credential parameter will be removed from both Connect-ExchangeOnline and Connect-IppsSession cmdlets. Organizations using this parameter in automation scripts must migrate to a supported authentication method before that date. This change improves security by moving away from legacy authentication methods that do not support modern protections such as multifactor authentication (MFA). [When this will happen:] The -Credential parameter will be removed from Connect-ExchangeOnline and Connect-IppsSession cmdlets in Exchange Online PowerShell module versions released beginning end of year 2026 (previously July).
