Microsoft Edge: v.124 - Updated Edge Profile account re-authentication popup when Browser to Web Single-Sign-On (SSO) fails.

Description:
Edge provides a browser to Web single sign-on (SSO) capability that lets a user sign in to their Edge Profile with a web account first and then automatically sign them into Microsoft first party websites. This is done by saving cached credentials. This approach works until there's an authentication challenge to the cached credentials. A typical scenario is when a user changes their password on a different device. The cached credentials on the current device become outdated and SSO fails. Edge detects this failure and shows a re-authentication popup that prompts the user to update their cached credentials on the current device.

All other triggers will be limited to 5,000 per day per trigger. Additionally, the policy health warning messages will be enhanced to assist admins with appropriate permissions in identifying and addressing noisy triggers effectively. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations.

Microsoft 365 admin center: Manage ownerless Microsoft 365 groups and teams

Description:
Teams, Outlook groups, Team Sites etc. powered by Microsoft 365 Groups supports two roles: members and owners. Members can collaborate with others in the group through files, emails, messages etc. Owners manage the group membership and monitor content and conversations. When employees leave an organization or switch projects internally, it results in their existing user accounts getting deleted. If such employees were group owners, keeping track of their groups becomes critical to ensure accountability within the organization. We have introduced a new ownership governance policy to help automate the management of ownerless groups by requesting active members to become owners of the group. Admins can define who is eligible for these notifications and configure what notifications and how often these notifications are sent to active group members. Users, who are members of the ownerless groups can simply accept or decline request via the actionable email message.

This update provides two enhancements to app and risky browsing activities that may lead to a data security incident in forensic evidence. Admins with appropriate permissions will no longer need to enable browsing indicators from the insider risk settings page to gain visual insights of these activities. In addition, the feature has been updated with more precise detection when users switch between tabs and windows. This results in more reliable visual evidence insights when context is switched in the browser. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy. Note: The roadmap item was inadvertently marked rolling out and has now been corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

SharePoint: Accessibility Improvements to Page Authoring

Description:
To support accessibility best practices, we’ve made some improvements to the Page authoring experience. 1 - Added functionality to mark images as decorative. Decorative images will be ignored by assistive technology, including screen readers. This addition has been made to the following: background image of the Title Region, images added inline with the Text Web Part, Image Web Part, Image Gallery, Hero, Call to Action, and Quick Links. 2 - Changed the heading level 1 to be reserved for the page title in the title area. Headings can still be added to a page at levels 2-4 using the web parts. This makes it easier for users of screen readers to understand how your page is structured.

Description:
Task publishing allows an organization to centrally define and distribute tasks across their frontline locations and monitor how that work is going. The task publishing capability will allow users to create recurring task lists that repeat on a selected cadence, to create lists assigned to everyone in a recipient team, to require a Microsoft Forms form as a prerequisite to completion, and to designate an approval as a prerequisite to completion.

Title:
Microsoft Teams: Task publishing: Schedule recurring lists in task publishing

Description:
The task publishing experience in Microsoft Teams is a feature for frontline organizations that have employees distributed across many geographically dispersed locations. The task publishing feature allows an organization to centrally define a set of work, choose the set of frontline locations that should complete that work, create the appropriate tasks for each frontline location, and monitor how that work is going. One of the top feature requests for task publishing has been the ability to create a set of tasks once and set them to automatically repeat at a scheduled cadence. Common examples are daily opening and closing tasks or weekly/monthly site inspections and compliance walks. When this feature is available, you'll be able to set recurrence on a draft task list, which will allow you to choose the cadence (such as every month on the 15th of the month). You can then publish the list and task publishing will take care of scheduling the publication so that the list publishes automatically at that cadence going forward. We know from a wide range of customer conversations that this will be a big time saver for distributing recurring tasks across frontline organizations.

Azure Active Directory: Authenticator Lite now in Public Preview in Outlook for Android and iOS

Description:
If you do not wish for this feature to be enabled on May 19th, move the state to ‘disabled’ or set user include and exclude groups prior to May 19th. Authenticator Lite (in Outlook) is a feature that allows your users to complete multi-factor authentication for their work or school account using the Outlook app on their iOS or Android device. We always recommend having users download Authenticator to complete their sign-ins, where we can offer the most up-to-date security features. However, users that have not downloaded the app to their device can now approve authentication requests and receive TOTP codes in Outlook, bringing the security of Authenticator to a convenient location.

Microsoft Teams: Teams calendar - Muti window experience for scheduling form for Government

Description:
Currently, it is not possible to work on a file, chat, look into activity while managing time on teams' calendar. The reason for this is all these are in different apps located in the left app tray. Users have to switch back and forth between these apps to multi-task in calendar and there are times the data/context gets lost while switching between these apps. We have heard this feedback and as a first step towards solving this, scheduling form can now be popped out as a separate window. This scheduling form new window can be seen while creating a new meeting An existing meeting can also be now popped out by clicking on the icon on scheduling form. Our tech wizards have also made some improvements to calendar in this version which makes it faster to load now. In our next versions, we also plan to pop out the complete calendar app as a new window.

Description:
For Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection, we are adding support for providing "DKIM verified domain" as the "Sending Infrastructure" within Tenant allow-block lists-Spoofing, so that Security Administrators can better manage Anti-Spoofing activity and override it based on Spoof Intelligence. Currently, what is supported in this field is either the domain from DNS PTR record or /24 IP Subnet. Additionally, being able to specify a 'DKIM verified domain' will help serve scenarios where shared infrastructure provider services are used for sending emails. Since the DKIM domain is unique to each tenant and if it passes verification even when other authentication signals fail, if desired for legitimate business reasons, a spoofed message can still be allowed instead of being blocked.

For some messages, 24 hours can be too long to wait only to find out a message wasn't delivered. So, we're introducing the ability for admins to customize the message expiration timeout to be less than 24 hours.

It is also worth noting that this change aligns with our long-term goal of surfacing the quarantine experience for users in the outlook client.

Microsoft Teams: Detect Music Automatically (Education only)

Description:
The previously released ML-based noise suppression is now enabled by default for most of our customers. ML-based noise suppression considers any non-speech signal picked up by the microphone as noise which should be suppressed. To avoid suppressing music and to allow users to enable the new high-fidelity music mode, we have built an ML-based music detector which will inform the user whenever music is present through a notification. This will give the end user the choice whether music is indeed an unwanted background noise, such as when calling into a meeting from a coffee shop, or if music is a desired signal, such as when participating in a music lesson. This new feature is now available to Edu customers only. We will communicate when this is available to commercial and government customers.

Microsoft 365 compliance center: Microsoft Purview | Data loss prevention (DLP) on-premises scanner (US Government clouds)

Description:
Microsoft Purview DLP on-premises scanner relies on a full implementation of the Azure Information Protection (AIP) scanner to monitor, label, and protect sensitive items. It crawls on-premises data-at-rest in file shares and SharePoint document libraries and folders for sensitive items that, if leaked, would pose a risk to your organization, or pose a risk of compliance policy violation. This gives you the visibility and control you need to ensure that sensitive items are used and protected properly, and to help prevent risky behavior that might compromise them. The information about what the users are doing with sensitive items is made visible in Activity explorer and you can enforce protective actions on those items via DLP policies.

Title:
Microsoft Edge v.92: IE mode on Microsoft Edge will support "nomerge" behavior

Description:
Starting in Edge 92, IE mode on Microsoft Edge will support nomerge. For an end-user, when a new browser window is launched from an IE mode application, it will be in a separate session, similar to the nomerge behavior in IE11. You will need to adjust your site list to configure sites that need to prevent session sharing as "nomerge". Behind the scenes, for each window of Microsoft Edge, the first time an IE mode tab is visited within that window, if it is one of the designated “nomerge” sites, that window is locked into a different “nomerge” IE session from all other Microsoft Edge windows at least until the last IE mode tab is closed in that window. This follows previous behavior where users could launch IE with nomerge and could also launch Microsoft Edge without nomerge via other mechanisms.

Users will be prompted to add the site to their local site list such that navigating to the same page in Microsoft Edge will automatically render in IE mode for the next 30 days. You can use the InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed policy to configure this experience and allow access to the IE mode entry points as well as the ability to add sites to the local site list. You can use the InternetExplorerIntegrationLocalSiteListExpirationDays policy to adjust the number of days to keep sites on the local site list.

We also provide users the option to turn off components such as echo cancellation, noise suppression, and gain control if needed.

Built-in microphones and speakers on laptops such as the Surface Book will also deliver good experience.

The search experience from the SharePoint home page in Office 365 (you get there by clicking the "SharePoint" tile in the Office 365 app launcher; when you start typing in the upper-left hand search text box) will become a more personalized experience based on the relevancy of who you work with and what you are working on. Personalized Search first helps you get back to what you were doing—when you click in the Search text box and before you type anything, you will see result items appear based on your most recent work. As you type, you'll see a refinement of results related to the keywords you enter; AND it helps discover new information—once you press Return, you enter the discovery phase where you are searching content, people (based on name and expertise), and sites from throughout your organization. Content is presented in the order of what is most relevant to you. For example, documents by people you work with will typically rank higher than documents by other people. Similarly, documents on SharePoint sites you work on would be ranked higher.

Description:
The search experience within Delve - when you start typing in the upper-left hand search text box - will become a more personalized; based more on the relevancy of who you work with and what you are working on. There are two main phases of this personalized search, recovery and discovery. Recovery starts as you click into the search text box, before even typing anything, you will see search items based on your most recent work. And as you type, you'll see a refinement of recent work items related to the keyword(s) you used. Once you hit return, you enter the discovery side of search across Office 365. This is where you are now searching content, people, sites from throughout your enterprise – presented to you in order based on what is most relevant to you.

Simplified sharing from OneDrive for Business from the web

Description:
We’re updating the user experience for sharing files and folders in OneDrive for Business from the web.  This new sharing experience simplifies the flow of emailing links to colleagues and guests and copying links to the clipboard. Like the original experience, the new experience presents two choices to users who want to share: type email addresses to send a link in email, or copy a link to the clipboard. Both the “Share” and “Get a link” command support all three types of links in OneDrive, including anonymous access links (accessible by anyone), company shareable links (accessible to those within your organization) and restricted links (accessible to a custom set of users both in and outside your organization). This allows users to more easily choose their method of sharing (email or copying to clipboard) while retaining the full set of permissions choices. As always, the new sharing experience respects all IT sharing and access policies that are in place, so users will be able to get their work done while complying with the practices established by their IT administrators. It is rolling out to customers this month and we expect it to be complete in February.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Allowing URLs and Files with Tenant Allow/Block List

Description:
One of the ways EOP protects customers is by blocking malicious attachments, URLs, and certain senders from reaching end users. We also understand that from time to time, customers may have special needs to block something on their own that our filters might find to be not malicious. In order to provide a way for our customers to do this at time of click and during mail flow, we're developing a portal to help you self-serve and do it yourself. This portal will give admins the opportunity to explicitly allow or block attachments, URLs, senders and even certain recipients in your Office 365 tenant. This phase of this rollout enables explicitly allowing files and URLs.

Description:
Search your document like you search the web. We’re utilizing well-established web search technologies, such as query and document understanding, and adding deep learning based natural language models. This allows us to handle a much broader set of search queries beyond “exact match.” Typos: When there is a misspelling in the query, search can now show related matches. For example, technincian vs. technician. Forms of words: When there are different forms of the word in document and query. For example: tech, technology, technologies”; or USA, U.S.A, United States, United States of America; or newborn, new born, new-born, etc. Synonyms: For example: citation, quotation, quote, reference might be all the candidates for a term that you are searching for inside the document. A multi-word query: A single word query might lead to too many search results. A modern semantic search can often yield better results. For example: as a query of Oil Price, the content having Price of Oil, Prices of the Oil, Cost of Oil can offer related matches from within the document content.

[This is a duplicate of 67096 and will be pulled off the roadmap] Have you ever created an inbox rule to move incoming messages sent to a Distribution List (DL) you’re on to a specific folder? But then you discover that some senders will add the DL to the BCC line so the rule (for privacy reasons) is ignored and the message lands in your Inbox instead? Ugh! Yep, some of our Transport developers had that happen to them too – and they decided to do something about it. They added the ability to configure a DL or group to reject (NDR) messages when the DL is on the BCC line. It’s been a big hit within Microsoft, and now we’re making it available to Exchange Online customers! We plan to expose this setting to email admins (for DLs) and group owners (for Microsoft 365 Groups).

Microsoft Forms: Specific User Sharing for Collaboration for GCC, GCC-High and DoD

Description:
Microsoft Forms: Specific User Sharing for Collaboration is a new Office 365 feature that allows Form Owners to collaborate with specific users or security groups. This allows for the creation of specified Co-authors that can help design the form and view/analyze response data and allows a Form Owner to keep the collaboration locked down much further than using the existing collaboration styles "Users with an office 365 work or school account can view and edit" or "Only users in my organization can view and edit" We'll be gradually rolling this out to Worldwide O365 customers in Late April 2020. The roll-out will be completed by Early May 2020 . Previously, Co-authors created by the feature Share-Share to Collaborate- "Users with an office 365 work or school account can view and edit" or "Only users in my organization can view and edit" were able to modify the permissions level of collaboration, eg changing it from "Only users in my organization" - "Users with an office 365 account". This ability will now be removed from all existing co-authors as well as any newly created co-authors. Only Form owners will be able to change this setting.

Safe Documents is available worldwide

Description:
With Safe Documents, we’re bringing the power of the Intelligent Security Graph down to the desktop to verify that documents are safe at the endpoint itself. Although Protected View helps secure documents originating outside the organization, too often users would exit this sandbox without great consideration and leave their networks vulnerable. Bringing a minimal trust approach to the Office 365 ProPlus clients, Safe Documents automatically checks the document against known risks and threat profiles before allowing to open. Users are not asked to decide on their own whether a document can be trusted; they can simply focus on the work to be done. This seamless connection between the desktop and the cloud both simplifies the user workflow and helps to keep the network more secure. And with every malicious attack contained, the entire Intelligent Security Graph becomes stronger, benefiting everyone.

Microsoft 365 Groups can now be shown or hidden in Outlook and the Address Book using Microsoft Graph

Description:
Microsoft 365 Groups now supports more flexible methods of hiding and showing groups in any Outlook client or the address book. Two new properties have been introduced to the Group Resource Type in Microsoft Graph: hideFromOutlookClients and hideFromAddressLists.   The default value for both properties is false, and they are only retrieved when using $select.  Setting the hideFromOutlookClients property to True will prevent the group from showing in the Outlook left-hand navigation. The group name won't resolve during the creation of a new message in Outlook. Additionally, the hideFromAddressLists property will also be set to True to prevent the group from showing in the Global Address List (GAL). If hideFromOutlookClients is changed to False, hideFromAddressLists will also be changed to False.  Setting hideFromAddressLists by itself will control whether the group is hidden or shown in the Global Address List (GAL), but will have no impact on whether the group shows in the Outlook left-hand navigation or resolves during the creation of a new message. Changing the value of hideFromAddressLists will not change the value of hideFromOutlookClients.

Title:
Advanced eDiscovery: New feature to add data sources to a case

Description:
We’re launching a new feature that lets eDiscovery admins add data sources to a case (and place them on hold) without having to associate a data source with a custodian. This provides more flexibility in situations where a data source (such as a SharePoint site) doesn’t map directly to a specific custodian. When you add a data source to a case, it’s indexed and can be quickly searched when collecting data for a case.

Advanced eDiscovery: New feature to bulk-import custodians to a case

Description:
There are situations where a legal case or investigation can have hundreds of custodians.  To help you manage large cases, we’re announcing a new feature that lets eDiscovery admins bulk-import custodians to an Advanced eDiscovery case. Instead of having to manually add each custodian to a case, the bulk-import feature lets you upload a CSV file with information about each custodian and their data sources. Advanced eDiscovery validates the custodians and then imports them to a case.

Deprecation of SHA1 certificate support may affect EOP Filtering Only customers

Description:
There is a world-wide effort to deprecate SHA1 based TLS certificates. In Exchange Online Protection, support for those certificates will end in mid Feb 2017. If your on premises servers are still using SHA1-based certificates after mid February, a secure TLS connection will not be possible between your servers and EOP. If you use Forced TLS for your connector for messages from EOP, none of those messages will be delivered. For messages from your on premises servers to EOP, no TLS connection means we will be unable to identify those messages as coming from you and will not be able to send them out to the internet. For any partner connectors with Forced TLS enabled, mail flow will stop to those partners if they also have a SHA1-based certificate.Please ensure that any SHA1-based TLS certificates are renewed to avoid any disruptions to mail flow

This helps save bits-on-wire. However it does meanthat client would now be responsible for expanding therecurrences itself.

This can be resolved by either addressing the authentication concerns with the sender domain, or adding a transport rule to allow the domain.

Office 365 ATP, Secure by Default: Do not Allow for domains that fail authentication

Description:
We see lots of cases where configuration of our protection stack has enabled malicious content to be inadvertently delivered to end users. We’re working on a few features that will help address this problem. The second phase of this is blocking domains that fail authentication. The Antispam policy allows administrators to “Allow” domains regardless of the reputation of the domain. We’re changing our policies to not honor Allow rules when the domain fails authentication. This can be resolved by either addressing the authentication concerns with the sender domain, or adding a transport rule to allow the domain.

SharePoint Server 2016 - Feature Pack 1 (FP1)

Description:
We’re pleased to announce that we’re ahead of schedule with our inaugural Feature Pack for SharePoint Server 2016. Feature Pack 1, available in November, brings several enhancements driven by recent innovation in Office 365 and feedback from you on UserVoice, including:Logging of administrative actions performed in Central      Administration and with Windows PowerShell.Enhancements to MinRole to support small environments.A new OneDrive for Business user experience.Custom tiles in the SharePoint app launcher.Unified auditing across site collections on-premises      and in Office 365.Unified taxonomy across on-premises and Office 365.OneDrive API 2.0.Unlike previous versions of SharePoint, release-to-manufacture (RTM) did not define the end of innovation, but the beginning. As we continue to develop SharePoint Server 2016, we’ve paid close attention to customer feedback, trends in content management, team collaboration, user experiences across devices, and how the cloud can be blended into existing on-premises scenarios in new and compelling ways. Feature Packs allow us to accelerate delivery of cloud-first features to our Software Assurance customers (where noted) of SharePoint Server 2016 outside of the traditional 2- to 3-year release cadence.SharePoint Server 2016 and the coming FP1 enable hybrid scenarios across on-premises and Office 365 online. You can enable hybrid search, connected experiences with OneDrive for Business, Delve, Yammer and Office 365 Video, and now with FP1 you can perform a unified audit and take advantage of a unified taxonomy. For more information on other SharePoint and Office 365 hybrid scenarios, see hybrid.office.com.There is no cost associated with Feature Pack 1; however, some features of Feature Pack 1 are limited to Software Assurance customers where noted in this post.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Blocking URLs and Files with Tenant Allow/Block List

Description:
One of the ways EOP protects customers is by blocking malicious attachments, URLs, and certain senders from reaching end users. We also understand that from time to time, customers may have special needs to block something on their own that our filters might find to be not malicious. In order to provide a way for our customers to do this at time of click and during mail flow, we're developing a portal to help you self-serve and do it yourself. This portal will give admins the opportunity to explicitly allow or block attachments, URLs, senders and even certain recipients in your Office 365 tenant. The first phase of this rollout enables blocking of URLs and files. We feel that this is most important to our customers to protect them from getting compromised. The next phases of this will include the ability to allow files, URLs, and senders.

Title:
Support for Plus Addressing in Office 365

Description:
Plus Addressing is a great way to quickly create custom (or disposable) email addresses based off your standard email address, by simply adding a "+" suffix string to an existing email address in Office 365. For example, a plus address for [email protected] could be something like [email protected] that she could use to sign up for the newsletter at the Northwind web site. Then when Northwind sends a newsletter to [email protected] it will route directly to [email protected]. Kim could create an Inbox rule that then moves messages sent to this + address into the "Northwind" folder. Plus addressing support in Office 365 is a great way to more easily manage your Inbox, and even track mail like marketing and sales campaigns.

Reply-All Storm Protection

Description:
When a Reply-All mail storm happens in your organization it can disrupt business continuity and even cause unexpected throttling of your organization's mail flow within Office 365. While Exchange Online has several features designed to help prevent Reply-All storms (e.g. Distribution List (DL) allowed sender lists and recipient limits) that reduce the severity and impact of reply-all storms, they can still happen, especially if the DLs haven't been locked down tightly. Reply-All Storm Protection in Exchange Online will detect when a Reply-All storm is happening (or likely to happen) and will temporarily block users from replying to everyone on the thread. During this "cool down" period the service will send anyone who tries to reply to everyone a bounce message (or NDR) that effectively tells them to not try to reply all to the message. The temporary block will be active for several hours, usually enough time to dampen end-user enthusiasm to reply to the thread, and thus curtail the storm before it gets started or before it gains much momentum.

Title:
Securing SMTP Authenticated Submissions - Per Mailbox and By Default

Description:
We're kicking off a multi-phased effort to better secure SMTP authenticated submissions. SMTP authenticated submission is commonly used by applications or devices (printers, scanners, etc.) to submit email into the Office 365 service. It only requires login credentials, and doesn't support modern authentication. So this leaves any account that's using SMTP authenticated submission more vulnerable to abuse and hacking than accounts that exclusively use the other protocols that do support modern authentication. Last year we introduced Remote PowerShell cmdlets to disable SMTP authenticated submission for your entire organization or for individual mailboxes, and recently we released a switch in the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) to toggle it off for individual mailboxes. In Q2 CY 2020 we'll start to disable it for existing Office 365 organizations who aren't using SMTP Authenticated Submission at all, and starting in Q4 CY 2020 we'll start to judiciously disable it for existing organizations in Office 365 who have it enabled for some mailboxes, working closely with them to transition away from this less secure protocol while ensuring the continuity of their critical business email workflows.

2022-10-14 Description Description:
The Message Recall feature in Outlook for Windows is extremely popular with users, yet it doesn't always work so well. Part of the problem is that the recall is client-based, and the recall can only happen if the recipient also uses Outlook. With millions of users with mailboxes in Microsoft 365, we're now able to improve message recall by performing the recall directly against the recipients’ cloud mailboxes. So it will no longer matter which email client the recipient uses, the recall will happen in their cloud mailbox, and when the recipient’s email client syncs with their cloud mailbox, the message will be gone. While there are still some scenarios where a recall won't happen (like for messages sent outside of the Microsoft 365 organization), moving the recall to the cloud significantly improves the recall success rate. Additionally, users will also now have a single message recall status report that will make it simpler to track the recall status for all recipients.

The ability to send email from a proxy address (aka alias) other than the sender's primary SMTP address is useful in multiple scenarios, such as mergers and acquisitions when you need the to send from multiple branded domain names, or sending on behalf of a team or department, like [email protected]. And of course, having the FROM and REPLY TO boxes preserve that alias when the recipient sees it is just as important. So to kick-off our journey to provide you and your users with the flexibility to send email using alias, we're excited to announce that soon Outlook on the web (aka OWA) will natively support the ability to choose the sender or FROM from a drop-down list right within the compose pane. And when the recipient receives that message, the FROM and REPLY TO will show that alias, regardless where the recipient's mailbox happens to live.

Not only manual labeling, we are also expanding to automatically detect and label the sensitive files in SharePoint and OneDrive so that even if users forget or neglect to label the sensitive files the intelligent engine will catch the sensitive files. You can create an auto labeling policy in the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center selecting the rules you like to evaluate to determine sensitivity files with few clicks. Sign up if you are interested in joining any of the above security private previews: https://aka.ms/SecurityPreviews.

Title:
Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) is now enabled for Office 365 hosted mailboxes

Description:
All hosted mailboxes in Office 365 will now gain the benefit of ARC with improved deliverability of messages and enhanced anti-spoofing detection. ARC preserves the email authentication results from all participating intermediaries, or hops, when an email is routed from the originating server to the recipient mailbox. Before ARC, modifications performed by intermediaries in email routing, like forwarding rules or automatic signatures, could cause email authentication results to fail by the time the email reached the recipient mailbox. With ARC, the cryptographic preservation of the authentication results allows Office 365 to verify the authenticity of an email's sender. Initially ARC will only be utilized to verify authentication results within Office 365, but plan to add support for third party signers in the future.

Crucial security- and compliance-related audit events are ones that can help you investigate possible breaches or other forensic-related investigations. The first crucial event that we're releasing is the MailItemsAccessed mailbox auditing action. This action is triggered when mail data is accessed by mail protocols and mail clients. The MailItemsAccessed action can help investigators identify data breaches and determine the scope of messages that may have been compromised. If an attacker gained access to email messages, the MailItemsAccessed action will be triggered even if there is no explicit signal that messages were actually read (in other words, the type of access such as a bind or sync is recorded in the audit record).

The playbook will also provide valuable insights into: • How the user was compromised???if the user clicked on a bad link or it changed state, or if the user performed some malicious activity, such as sending phish or malware. • What they did after that???for example, if they set up delegates or mail forwarding rules or changed other settings • What actions the security team performed???such as cleaning up malicious messages, investigating URLs that changed verdict, removing delegates and inbox rules, and so on

Tenant Customizable Recipient Limits

Description:
In Exchange Online a mailbox user is allowed to send to a maximum of 500 recipients per message. This default value currently can’t be changed by the tenant admin. Yet, many admins would like to raise this limit on at least a few mailboxes (for monthly newsletters for example). Others want to significantly lower it (to, say, 50 or some such) for most or all mailboxes in their organization, as part of a perceived defense-in-depth strategy to reduce the potential impact should a hacker compromise a user account and start blasting out spam, or a disgruntled employee tries to air their grievances company-wide. With the upcoming customizable recipient limits, you’ll now be able to customize this setting between 1 and 1000, for a single mailbox, multiple mailboxes, and for the default setting for new mailboxes that you create in the future. Single and bulk edit will be available in the Exchange Admin Center UI, while customizing the default setting for new mailboxes can be done via Remote PowerShell.

As noted in Roadmap Item 54015, Outlook on the web allows you to connect your personal calendar so that you can view both your work and personal calendars in one place. Once you add your personal calendar, you will have the option to make it block time in your work availability. Don’t worry though: when others see your work availability (free/busy), your personal events will only appear as free or busy. Details of personal events, such as title and location, won’t ever be shown regardless of how you share your work calendar. This feature is currently in private preview.

You can save values for roles, licenses assigned, contact information, location, and more. When you use the template to create a new user, they will automatically get the saved value for these settings. Example: I have a large group of engineers starting in Redmond. I know that they will all be users with no admin role, Microsoft 365 Business, be located in the United States, be Engineer 1, be in the engineering department, and be in the Redmond office. I can save all of these values to a “Redmond engineer” template. When I go to create the users, I can use this template to prepopulate all these values. Templates will be rolling out slowly over starting in the beginning of September. We will be looking at expanding the scenarios and functionality for templates over the next few months.

Audio Conferencing via Direct Routing for GCC High and GCC DoD

Description:
Audio Conferencing via Direct Routing for GCC High and GCC DoD enables participants to join your organization’s meetings using a standard phone number. Participants choose to use a phone to join meetings for scenarios where Internet connectivity is limited, are in transit, or don't have access to a Teams application. Participants can join the meeting either by using the dial-in access numbers of your organization or by having the meeting dial out to a phone number. Configuring this feature requires your organization to use its own numbers for dial-in access and all meeting dial-outs to phones are via Direct Routing. To enable the service, organizations need to set up Direct Routing and configure phone numbers that can be used for dial-in access. GCC High and DoD customers should note that the requirement to use direct routing is different from the Audio Conferencing service that is offered to commercial organizations where the dial-in access numbers are provided by Microsoft. Please be sure to review the correct documentation for this offering. We expect the documentation to be available at the same time as General Availability for the feature.

Enhanced filtering for connectors

Description:
This feature will help organizations that have complex mail routing set ups. This basically means that your MX record does not point to Office 365 EOP and you receive mail through an inbound connector. Properly configured connectors are a trusted source of incoming mail to Office 365, but connectors aren’t necessarily the true source of messages and obfuscates the sender information. Enhanced filtering for connectors is a feature that allows you to filter email based on the actual source of messages that arrive over the connector. This is also known as skip listing and this feature will allow you to overlook, or skip, any IP addresses that are considered internal to you in order to get the last known external IP address, which should be the actual source IP address resulting in improved effectiveness. We believe that this feature will help those customers that aren’t fully leveraging EOP/ATP’s full value to show why you could or should move your MX record to EOP.

Description:
In August, we will start rolling out changes to Office 365 licensing technology to make it more reliable and resilient. These changes will help simplify activation management and streamline the Office activation experience for users. Users will still sign-in to activate Office on their devices, and if single sign-on is enabled, Office will automatically pick up the credentials and activate Office. As part of your subscription, users can still install and activate Office 365 apps on up to five PCs or Macs, five tablets, and five smartphones. Previously, users who reached this limit were prompted to deactivate an existing install before activating Office on a new device. Going forward, Office will automatically sign the user out of the user’s least recently used device when the user exceeds the limit, eliminating unnecessary friction. In August, we’ll start slowly rolling out these changes to commercial customers on Monthly Channel. No additional action is required on your part.

Office ATP AIR - Exposing Investigation data through Management Activity API

Description:
In response to customer feedback and suggestions, and to ensure that our customers have access to critical information to investigate security incidents in their tenancy, we have made some enhancements to the Automated Investigation and Response (AIR) feature in Office 365 ATP. We have been working to meet the extensibility requirements of our customers, who want to leverage the intelligence of our investigations within their custom tools. As part of this work, we will be exposing information about AIR investigations through the Office 365 Management Activity API. This data will include Investigation metadata like ID, Name, Originating Alert ID along with link to the investigation for further analysis. In addition to this, we will also be providing high level information about the investigation actions and entities associated with that investigation. The investigation data will be sent as an event to the Management Activity API on the change of the status of an investigation. As an example, when the status of an investigation changes from Running to Pending Action, it will be captured as an event with the latest investigation data for that state made available through the Management Activity API. The enhancement will begin to rollout by end of July and is targeted to be saturated by 2nd week of August.

The team site home page offers an updated entry point to where team members get work done. It is the quickest way to find and showcase the most relevant and important content. Team members can pin the content right up front and see site and people activites showcasing the intelligence from the Microsoft Graph. Modern team sites will be integrated with Office 365 Groups where every group (new and existing) gets the full power of a SharePoint Online team site. We’ve made huge improvements in the time it takes to create a team site—targeting “seconds-to-ready.” And site owners can see how content is being used and trending analytics in the updated 'Site contents' page. Plus modern team sites look great when accessed via the SharePoint mobile app, too.

This change will add the ability to create alerts with activity type 'Phishing email detected at time of delivery.' The alert can be created and viewed using the PowerShell cmdlet or through the Alerts portal in the Security and Compliance Center. This type of alert fires when a mail is detected to be phish by Office 365 filters during mail flow. It can also be scoped down to fire in specific scenarios using available configurable conditions. We'll be gradually rolling this out to customers with the ATP P1 add-on beginning July 1, 2019. The roll out will be completed worldwide by the July 19, 2019.

Today, when a user protected by Office 365 ATP Safe Links policy clicks on a suspicious link in an email, they may get a notification that the link is being scanned. Some users are not used to seeing this page, or would rather have the entire message to be scanned before receiving it, therefore we're introducing a new setting in the Safe Links policy where admins can turn on Synchronous URL detonation. With this setting on, suspicious URLs and URLs that would lead to downloadable contents in emails are scanned before the email is delivered to users, eliminating the chances of users seeing the URL being scanned notification. If any URL in the message is determined to be malicious, the email will land in the Junk Folder (or other folders based on your policy) instead of their inbox.

Improvements to Threat Explorer for better hunting experience

Description:
We're making significant improvements to the Threat Explorer for better manual threat hunting experience. Based on common hunting scenarios and customer feedback, we're introducing following updates: 1. Clarity on delivery status of an email : Today in Explorer/ Real-time detections, we show the delivery status of an email which could be delivered, delivered to junk, blocked, replaced and removed by ZAP. The status doesn’t help paint a complete picture of where the email actually landed and where is it at a given point of time. We're going to split the existing delivery status into more accurate values and simpler relatable names to define it. Delivery status is renamed to “Delivery action” and “Delivery location” is another column which is added to indicate the location of an email. There might be events which occur post-delivery of an email, they are captured under the column “Special action”. All these values combined would help the admin understand what action(s) were taken on an email and the location of that email. 2. Timeline view for an email: Email timeline is a new feature underway to make hunting simpler for admins. In case of multiple events occurring on the same email, that would be shown in a timeline view so the admin won't have to hunt down at different places to understand the email events. 3. Ability for admins to view and download malicious emails for analysis: Email preview and download option will allow the admins to better analyze bad emails We'll be rolling out these features in the order above.

Microsoft Intune management of Surface firmware settings

Description:
Microsoft Intune is excited to introduce management of UEFI BIOS settings (device firmware on most new hardware), powered by the intelligent cloud using Device Firmware Configuration Interface (DFCI). Until now BIOS management has been proprietary per-OEM, often creating an inconsistent experience to deliver security with ease-of-deployment. With DFCI support, IT administrators gain the efficiency of cloud-scale remote firmware management with zero-touch device provisioning and built-in security. DFCI will initially apply to Surface devices, and an open-source framework will be published to enable third-party OEM partners. DFCI supports zero-touch provisioning, eliminates BIOS passwords, provides control of security settings including boot options and built-in peripherals, and lays the groundwork for advanced security scenarios in the future.

Modern Authentication is one of the best ways of ensuring that your clients can take advantage of authentication features like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and third-party SAML identity providers. All new Office 365 tenants created on or after August 1, 2017 have Modern Authentication enabled by default in Exchange Online for all clients. We're making a change so that Modern Authentication will be enabled for the Windows Outlook client and Skype for Business client in all managed (non-federated) tenants that were created before to August 1, 2017. Those tenants already have Modern Authentication enabled for Outlook mobile, Outlook for Mac and Outlook on the Web, so there are no changes to any of those clients.

This strengthens the loop by enabling analysis on URLs for delivered mail, supporting security analysis for missed phish, data loss, and other security investigations.

This adds convenience and efficiency, while providing peace of mind that mileage is automatically captured and logged.

The simple automatic functionality will engage your employees and will help streamline your own management process. As the administrator, you can manage MileIQ right from the Office 365 admin center.? This will be turned on by default as of March 18, but you can disable it in the Azure portal through a service principle. You don't need to do anything to prepare for this change. However, you might consider updating your user training and notifying your helpdesk. The MileIQ team can also provide additional information for onboarding multiple drivers including coaching and, in some cases, training. Simply go to mileiq.com/teams, fill out the form and a MileIQ team member will get in touch.

To better protect your data, the first step in the journey is for you to get a holistic understanding of the sensitive data in your digital estate and related user activities. The data classification capabilities in Microsoft 365 compliance center enable you to do that and take the next step towards establishing appropriate policies to better protect your sensitive data (e.g., by applying sensitivity labels and policies). Overview tab which shows you at a glance the locations of your digital content and most common sensitive information types and labels present. Importantly you don’t need to establish any policy to understand these details. Content Explorer tab provides you a richer understanding of your data at risk and visibility into amount and types of sensitive data in a document, including an integrated viewer displaying the full content in documents or emails. You can also filter by label or sensitive type to get a detailed view of locations where the sensitive data is stored. Activity Explorer tab provides a better understanding of activities related to your sensitive data and labels, such as label downgrades or external sharing that could expose your content to risk. It helps you investigate events that could be leading towards data leak scenarios (e.g., bulk label downgrades before sharing externally). Understanding these activities gives you the ability to identify the right policies for protection or data loss prevention (DLP) to ensure that your most sensitive data is secure.

We’re also adding a mail flow map, a graphical report showing the characteristics of your organization’s mail flow coming into and leaving Office 365. This report helps an admin understand mail routing pattern for their organization and can help identify anomalies and fix issues. Lastly, we’re providing an SMTP Client Auth report displaying your organization's usage of SMTP Authenticated Submission (SMTP Auth) protocol for the past 7 days.

We are adding reports to understand domain health status in your organization (such as identify expired or incorrectly configured domain that prevents it from accepting emails); what messages sent by your users are being rejected at their destination; spot messages coming from your own on-premises server might be from compromised machines and user accounts; or identity mails being sent from your on-premises servers and attributed to your organization but not coming from configured accepted domains.   We’re also adding a mail flow map, a graphical report showing the characteristics of your organization’s mail flow coming into and leaving Office 365. This report helps an admin understand mail routing pattern for their organization and can help identify anomalies and fix issues. Lastly, we’re providing an  SMTP Client Auth report displaying your organization's usage of SMTP Authenticated Submission (SMTP Auth) protocol for the past 7 days. This is a legacy protocol therefore user accounts are more susceptible to being compromised and used to send spam emails.

To help you find and manage items, you can sort and filter columns, plus new, real time full-text search results appear directly in the document library experience, plus quick, inline metadata management. And finally, when the team needs to bring in files from OneDrive for Business, or publish files between document libraries, users can click Move to and Copy to move and copy files when they are needed in other locations across Office 365, without generating unnecessary versions of the same files.

SharePoint home in Office 365

Description:
The new SharePoint home page web experience enables you to easily get to, find and discover important sites and portals throughout your intranet – online, on-premises and everything in-between. Today, many Office 365 users use the "Sites" page – the 4th most clicked tile in the Office 365 app launcher.  We are modernizing this experience and transforming it into a true home for SharePoint. What was the 'Sites' page is now the 'SharePoint home' and the “Sites” tile becomes the “SharePoint” tile - same logo, redesigned for a modern, responsive user experience. Clicking into the SharePoint Home displays the recent sites and portals you are most active in and following, recommended sites per the Office Graph, plus company-wide sites promoted by your company. From the SharePoint home, you, too, can create new sites - simple and fast. We’ve made huge improvements in the time it takes to create a site (targeting seconds to create), the flow & integrated value so that it naturally leads to the creation of an Office 365 Group in Azure Activity Directory (AAD), as well as establishing compliance controls for site classification.

Simplifying management of Intra-Org Spoof and DMARC Failures

Description:
Intra-Org Spoof and DMARC Failures – We are simplifying the way that our customer manage anti-spoofing by consolidating all spoof actions and management under one policy: the Anti-Phishing policy. This means that we will no longer take the Spam action, as dictated in the Anti-Spam policy, for intra-org spoof and DMARC failures. Cross-org spoof will continue to be managed by the Anti-Phishing policy without changes. Additionally, we have further simplified anti-spoofing protection management by stamping all mails, including intra-org spoof, with a Composite Authentication result in the headers. This makes it much easier to quickly decipher our verdict on the authentication of the mail and whether we deemed the mail spoof, and why. This may result in some messages that were previously marked as spam will start getting marked as phish (CAT:SPOOF). In still other cases, customers that were moving all spam to the junk folder and phish to the quarantine would now see them going to quarantine. We'll be gradually rolling these features out over the course of the next few weeks, and we expect the rollout to be complete by end of February.

Admin center support updates, including full page ticket history view and callback scheduling

Description:
Microsoft 365 support is designed to be effective, efficient, and transparent to ensure a high-quality experience. We read every piece of feedback you submit and base our product roadmap on the most requested features. We hope the new support features coming soon to the Microsoft 365 admin center will help reduce time to resolution and improve the overall transparency and effectiveness of the support process. These features include: • Full page ticket history- Review all communications with support directly from the admin center. • Resolution steps- Immediately view service request resolution steps. These details will only show up for service requests that have been created after the new experience has been deployed. • Callback scheduling- Receive support directly from Microsoft on your schedule with the ability to request a call from support at a specific time. Add attachments and notes to your support ticket to provide context. • User defined case severity- Define the severity of your issue (Premier A/B/C and Unified is critical/non-critical) to quickly receive the appropriate level of support. Sev A/Critical is limited to Phone cases as this provides you with the fastest option to address the issue at hand. • Case History export- Export all cases that were created in the past 13 months. • Description character limit increased to 2500 characters- Provide a more detailed description. With this change, the search box will decrease in size as we have now added a larger description box. • Intelligent self-serve solutions- Receive immediate help from an automated assistant and find better solutions with improved search, powered by machine learning. Solutions will keep improving as you use them and will draw from an ever-increasing repository including but not limited to service health dashboard, support articles, and diagnostic wizards. • Updated Service Request view- Visualize where you are at in the life cycle of the service request.

Improvements in reporting of ‘bad items’ during mailbox migrations

Description:
We are improving migrations so that the admin will no longer be required to specify an explicit Bad Item Limit or Missing Item limit. Instead, a migration will be assigned a Data Consistency Score that will classify it as - Perfect, Good, Investigate or Poor. These classifications are based on the nature and amount of data loss that might have occurred during the migration process. Based on these scores the admin may be required to take an additional step to approve a migration before it can be completed successfully. With the introduction of Data Consistency Score, we aim to increase visibility into conversion errors and help triage the criticality of item conversion failures.

Message encryption: admin controlled message expiration

Description:
We are releasing the ability for admins to expire encrypted emails. Expiration of encrypted emails is only possible if the recipient received a link-based branded email experience for the encrypted email. If the recipient received a native inline experience in a supported Outlook client, then those emails cannot be revoked. Organizations will have the ability to force a link-based experience regardless of the recipient identity. This way, all recipients will get a branded email with a link to the Office 365 Message Encryption portal where they will be able to read and reply to encrypted emails - and if the message is expired they will no longer be able to read and reply to the encrypted email. Once an email has been expired, the recipient will get an error when trying to access the encrypted email through the Office 365 Message Encryption portal: “The message has been expired by the sender.”

Description:
A picture is worth a thousand words. A YouTube video can be worth a million. And it’s best if it’s not just a link out to the Web, but rather a playable video that sits right beside the additional context you want to surround it. You can add a video from YouTube by pasting the share link provided by YouTube. We’ve added a YouTube icon to make this more apparent in the toolbox.

Microsoft Edge - Experience improvements

Top sites in the jump list: users can now see top sites in the jump list on the Windows task bar or Start menu. Tabs: Once users have set a group of tabs aside, they can choose the “Tabs you’ve set aside” icon (top left corner), and click on the label for any group to rename it. “Downloads” pane: new options for Show in folder and Copy link to the right-click menu for downloads in the Downloads pane. Retired XSS filter: We are retiring the XSS filter in Microsoft Edge. Our customers remain protected thanks to modern standards like Content Security Policy, which provide more powerful, better performing, and secure mechanisms to protect against content injection attacks, with high compatibility across modern browsers. PDF reader toolbar options: The toolbar available on a PDF document opened in Microsoft Edge will now show text descriptions for the icons to make them easily understandable by users. Pin/unpin PDF toolbar: The PDF toolbar can now be pinned at the top of the document, making all the PDF tools easily accessible if users need them. Users can also unpin the toolbar for an immersive reading experience. PDF reader rendering improvements: rendering performance fixes will have users see less white pages when they navigate through PDF files in Microsoft Edge. WebDriver improvements: users can automate testing in Microsoft Edge using WebDriver. WebDriver is a Windows Feature on Demand, so users no longer need to match the build and branch manually when installing WebDriver. Web authentication preview: Web Authentication provides an open, scalable, and interoperable solution to facilitate authentication, which replaces passwords with stronger hardware-bound credentials. The implementation in Microsoft Edge allows users to use Windows Hello (via PIN or biometrics) and external authenticators like FIDO2 Security Keys or FIDO U2F Security Keys, to securely authenticate to websites. Per-site media autoplay controls: users can now control autoplay permissions on a per-site basis under the Website permission section of the Website Identification pane – just click the information icon or lock icon on the left side of the address bar and click manage permissions to get started. Lookup definitions for words in reading view, books, and PDFs – there’s a new dictionary function, so users can look up definitions for key words when reading a page or document.

As the number of security solutions and volume of security data grows, the ability to quickly extract value becomes more difficult. Integrating each new solution with existing security tools and workflows means added cost, time, and complexity. The unified security API makes it easy to connect with Microsoft and partner security solutions: Unify and standardize alert management: Write code once to get alerts from any Microsoft Graph Security provider, correlate alerts across security solutions more easily with a common alert schema, and keep alert status and assignments in sync across all solutions. Unlock security context to inform security operations: Integrate insights about users, hosts, apps, security controls (Secure Score and configurations), and organizational context from other Microsoft Graph providers (Azure Active Directory Microsoft Intune, Office 365, and others). Simplify security orchestration and automation: Develop investigation and remediation playbooks that call Graph Security to take actions, automate security policy checks and rule enforcement, and orchestrate actions across security solutions.

This is a duplicate of 31548 which is currently rolling out.  This is being cancelled and removed from the roadmap.
This new feature allows users to manage their security info (i.e. phone number, email address, mobile app, etc.) for self-service password reset (SSPR) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) in a single experience. Users will no longer have to register the same security info for SSPR and MFA in two different experiences. This new experience also applies to users who have either SSPR or MFA.  If an organization is not enforcing registration for MFA or SSPR, users can register their security info through the My Apps portal. From there, users can register any methods enabled for MFA or SSPR.  This is an opt-in public preview. Admins will be able to turn on the new experience (if desired) for a selected group of users or all users in a tenant.

Update to Exchange Mailbox Auditing – Mailboxes Audited by Default and New Mailbox Actions to Audit

Description:
To ensure that our customers have access to critical audit data to investigate security incidents in their tenancy when required, the Exchange Online service will begin introducing a configuration that will automatically enable mailbox auditing on all applicable mailboxes to users of the Commercial service. When this update is complete, Tenant administrators will no longer be required to configure the per-mailbox AuditEnabled setting for the service to begin storing security audit data on their behalf. Additionally, we continue to add mailbox audit actions to the default configuration, most recently UpdateInboxRules and UpdateCalendarDelegation. These actions are of high interest to security analysts to understand the activities that are taking place within the tenant.

To help raise awareness of possible uncommon or accidental file deletions (based on a 'higher than usual' number of deleted files per hour), people will be notified if a large number of files are deleted. For OneDrive, if a large number of files are deleted from a person's OneDrive, that person - the *owner* - will be sent an email notification letting them know about it and pointing them to the Recycle Bin in case they want to restore. For SharePoint team sites, if a large number of files are deleted, the *person that deleted them* (site owner or member) will be sent an email notification letting them know about it and pointing them to the Recycle Bin in case they want to restore. Each email notification will include an unsubscribe link at the bottom for those that wish to opt out of this type of notification. In addition to this server-side mass delete detection, whenever someone deletes more than 200 synced OneDrive or Team Site files at once from their device, the OneDrive sync client will prompt the user to confirm it was intentional. If it was accidental, the user can tap Restore Files to bring them back, otherwise tapping remove will delete them as usual. If a user wants to skip the new behavior, they can select the Always remove files box before tapping Remove to skip the prompt for future mass deletes.

We are releasing a preview of a new user experience that will allow users to register security info for multi-factor authentication (MFA) and password reset in a single experience. Now when a user registers security info such as their phone number for receiving verification codes, that number can also be used for resetting a password. Likewise, users can change or delete their security info from a single page, making it easier to keep information up-to-date.

Action Center is now SCC Restricted Users

Description:
The Action Center has been moved to the Security and Compliance Center (SCC) as a new feature called Restricted Users. Administrators can now user SCC to unblock user accounts that have been restricted from sending mail to external users due to suspicious activity. We plan on expanding this feature to recommend remediation actions that check for things like compromise, but also add prevention tips like password change and enabling MFA.

Make the Action Center Easier to Find

Description:
When administrators need to unblock a blocked sender(s), due to compromise and/or sending spam, they could go to the Security and Compliance Center (SCC) Admin Center, but that wasn’t easy since you had to type it into the browser. So we’re making it easier to find if the admin is already in SCC and also adding a link in the Exchange Admin Center to point directly to it.

This “Other” link also gave users access to three options not accessible in the new options menu – Distribution Groups, Delivery Reports, and Site Mailbox settings. Distribution Groups has been added to the "General" group within the new options menu in Outlook on the Web. But, as part of the removal of the "Other" link, Delivery Reports and Site Mailbox settings pages are no longer available in Outlook on the Web.  Delivery Reports is still available from within the Outlook desktop client. A replacement for Delivery Reports, that would be accessible through Outlook on the Web, is under consideration for a possible future update, but no future date for such an update is available at this time.

We're also separating direct messages from group conversations in the inbox. Finally, we're streamlining the inbox by removing duplicate content that have been viewed elsewhere.

This change will start as a/b testing over the next couple of months. Users will not have to do anything to their profile pictures as we go through this process. However, a small population of users who customize their photo to add distinguishing traits will need to be familiar with some technical details. For these users, we recommend that their new profile photos be at least 100x100 pixels and that they keep custom badges within the new circular format

Only new sites will receive the new homepage. And as you can today, site owners can add and remove web parts and adjust section layouts once the site is established. We will begin rolling this feature out to First Release organizations in early December 2017, and then out to Standard Release organizations shortly thereafter. As the roll out progresses, you may experience variance in the availability of the new site features when you create new homepages. When the roll out is completed, new homepages will only appear with four web parts.

The Outlook app for iOS & Android is now fully powered by the Microsoft Cloud for Office 365 customers! As the code for the Outlook app for iOS & Android was based on Microsoft's acquisition of Acompli, it previously leveraged cloud components that ran outside of Microsoft’s datacenters. While more than 40 million users and businesses have already adopted Outlook, moving these cloud components to run natively in Microsoft-run datacenters has been a top priority since launch. This move is now complete for Office 365 commercial customers. Moving fully into the Microsoft Cloud helps effectively address the legal, regulatory and compliance needs of Office 365 customers in industries like banking, government, public sector and healthcare. For Office 365 customers, the Outlook app is now fully delivered through Microsoft services that provide a strong commitment to security, privacy and compliance.

Large Address Aware support in Outlook 2016 may affect some COM add-ins

Description:
Build 16.0.8528.2147 (Version 1709) of the 32-bit version of Outlook 2016 for Windows has been updated to be Large Address Aware (LAA). This increases the maximum address space available to Outlook from 2 GB to 4 GB when it is running on a 64-bit version of Windows. This is key to improved graphics rendering in Outlook when using newer displays that support higher screen resolutions. While LAA Outlook has been extensively tested, there is the possibility that some third-party or in-house developed Outlook COM Add-ins may experience issues with the change. Only 32-bit, 1709 versions of Outlook 2016 or later and running on a 64-bit version of Windows may be impacted. For details refer to https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Large-Address-Aware-in-Outlook-2016-ea0913e4-2917-4456-b0ea-935dbd57ef02?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

Safe Transfer means that once the transfer is initiated, the original call sticks around until the transfer is complete (i.e. called picked up by transfer-target or redirected to voicemail). If the transfer fails for any reason, the original call can be resumed. This allows the person initiating the transfer to make sure that the caller reaches the right destination, and provide the right messaging if that fails for some reason. E.g. If A calls B, and B transfers A to C. Then the call between A and B is put on hold while the transfer is happening. If the transfer to C fails, then B can resume the original call with A. The transfer to C is termed successful if C picks up, or if A reaches C's voicemail.

Outlook for iOS & Android: Full support for Office 365 U.S. Government

Description:
Today, Outlook for iOS & Android does not meet the full data handling requirements for Office 365 US Government Community (GCC). While Outlook is fully delivered through Microsoft services that provide a strong commitment to security, privacy and compliance, we are working to deliver a solution that fully supports the FedRAMP accreditation boundary requirements of Office 365 GCC customers. Until that time, Outlook will not connect to Office 365 GCC mailboxes. 
However, for many customers, the current setup is an acceptable interim solution until we can deliver an architecture that complies with the FedRAMP boundary commitments for Office 365 GCC. For more details, reach out to your Microsoft account representative.

Privileged access management in Office 365 was designed based on the principle of Zero Standing Access, which is how we run our own data centers at Microsoft through Lockbox and Customer Lockbox. With privileged access management in Office 365, access requests must be approved by an authorized set of approvers. Access is then time-bound for a limited duration -- often referred to as “Just-In-Time” (JIT) access. This level of rigor is how we manage administrative access privileges internally for Office 365 today.

Sender rewriting scheme for forwarded emails from Office 365

Description:
To combat email abuse, new authentication mechanisms, such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, are being used to combat the spoofing of domains by spammers. These mechanisms, however, are not compatible with the way emails have been forwarded from Office 365 to forward addresses set up for hosted mailboxes. More and more, recipient email servers are rejecting forwarded emails coming from Office 365 as the sender address is not for a domain Office 365 is allowed to send as. To fix this issue, a sender rewriting scheme is being rolled out in Office 365 that will change the sender email address to use the domain of the tenant whose mailbox is forwarding the message. This will avoid the rejections taking place by some email servers with strict settings for their SPF checks. Specifically, the Mail From field that email servers use to determine the sender email address will be rewritten. The separate From header which contains the sender address that is shown to recipients in their email client will not be changed. If any forwarded emails fail to be delivered to the forwarded address, the non-delivery responses will be sent to the original sender of the email which has always been the case

Office 365: Prevent events from hitting the 500 recipient limit

Description:
Office 365 allows up to 500 recipients on an email message or meeting invitation. However, if a meeting organizer sent an invitation to a distribution list (counted as only 1 recipient), attendees were added as individual recipients when they responded. So after more than 500 attendees responded, the meeting organizer could no longer update the meeting because there were now more than 500 recipients. We have made a first step in fixing this issue by no longer tracking individual responses (and therefore adding recipients) once there are 400 recipients. In a future update, we’ll track meeting responses in a separate property and use that when displaying attendee responses in Outlook.

In the past, emails sent from customers' on-premises servers and devices could have a sender email address for a domain that had not been verified as theirs. This opens up the possibility for abuse and spoofing of unowned domains. Customers should only send emails for domains they own. Domain ownership is verified for Office 365 tenants by using the Accepted Domains list. That list of domains can be viewed by going to the Mail Flow section in the Exchange Admin Center. Moving forward, any emails sent with an unverified domain in the Mail From field will have that email address changed. This applies to emails from customers' own email servers (also called "on-premises servers"), devices such as multi-function printers, and applications that send out emails that all make use of an Office 365 connector. The Mail From field is the sender address that email servers use to check who sent the email. This is different to the From header which is shown in email clients for recipients to see who sent it. Normally, the Mail From field and From header have the same email address, but not always. The From header will not be rewritten by this change. Problem email addresses in the Mail From field will be rewritten to use the default domain of the tenant together and any non-delivery reports will be directed back to customers' tenants to the email address [email protected] where contoso.com is the default domain of the tenant.

Major Updates to the Office 365 services require administrator attention. They impact the way users engage with the software, and Office 365 customers need to be aware of the plans, the general timing, and have control to ensure that information is protected. In the weeks following MSIgnite, the Message Center communications - web UI, weekly digest, and new emails - will flag "Major Updates" so that admins can receive email notifications and know how long that capability will be in Targeted Release before reaching Standard Release. During Targeted Release (new name for First Release), the capability will be enabled for any tenant or user set to Targeted Release, and tenant admins can configure or disable the feature. Settings that are applied during Targeted Release carry forward to Standard Release so that you can comfortably prepare for new releases. For organizations that want to allow the evergreen service to update seamlessly, no action is required, and Major Update emails can be disabled.

These users will receive updates before the rest of your organization, giving you time to prepare for changes. Additionally, First Release originally offered a selection of feature experiences for customers wanting early access to Office 365 updates. We started with new experiences, including Office Delve, Office 365 Video, Office 365 Groups and the app launcher.  While having faster access to these new capabilities has been beneficial, you have asked us to roll out more changes through First Release. Starting with Exchange Online, we are delivering more changes to First Release customers before going to the rest of Office 365 customers.

Title:
Change copy/paste behavior in the Outlook Web App

Description:
We are updating the behavior when pasting mixed content (e.g. text and images) into the compose email form in OWA. Depending on the type of mixed content, OWA may only be able to paste one of the two types of content. Previously when this happened, OWA prioritized the image and pasting mixed content would result result in just the image being pasted (with no text). From customer feedback, we are adjusting this behavior to now paste all the text, but leave out the image. The user will have to individually copy in the image separately. We believe this is a better choice when we are unable to paste the entirety of the mixed content, and is also consistent with how other webmail services handle this situation.

This feature allows you to limit external sharing in your organization to only users in selected security groups. We'll begin rolling this feature out in June, in two phases. First, you will notice a new setting that allows users to specify a set of security groups that are allowed to share to authenticated external users and via anonymous links. Second, another option will appear that allows admins to specify a set of security groups that are allowed to share to authenticated external users only. We'll be gradually rolling this out to First Release customers in early June, and the roll out will be completed by the end of July.

Change in entry point for add-ins for Outlook in Modern Conversation View

Description:
We will soon be releasing newly redesigned conversation view for Outlook for Windows in late September. This view will provide a more natural, top to bottom ordering of your conversation, along with a redesigned reading pane that simplifies UI elements to make it easier to stay on top of discussions. This new view will be made available in a default off state. In this modern conversation view in Outlook 2016 for Windows and Outlook on the web, add-ins will be only accessible via add-in commands .This means that custom add-ins that do not support add-in commands will no longer be visible to users in the new opt-in modern conversation view in Outlook, but users can continue to access such add-ins via the legacy conversation view or single item pop-out view. If you have deployed custom Line of Business add-ins for Outlook internally in your organizations, we encourage you to update your add-in to support add-in commands in the modern conversation view. Incorporating add-in commands requires a simple change in the add-in manifest for the add-in to appear again. For more information on how to update your add-in to support commands visit: https://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/outlook/add-in-commands-for-outlook

Personalized Search first helps you get back to what you were doing—when you click in the Search text box and before you type anything, you will see result items appear based on your most recent work. As you type, you'll see a refinement of results related to the keywords you enter; AND it helps discover new information—once you press Return, you enter the discovery phase where you are searching content, people (based on name and expertise), and sites from throughout your organization. Content is presented in the order of what is most relevant to you. For example, documents by people you work with will typically rank higher than documents by other people. Similarly, documents on SharePoint sites you work on would be ranked higher.

And as you type, you'll see a refinement of recent work items related to the keyword(s) you used. Once you hit return, you enter the discovery side of search across Office 365.

Simplified sharing from OneDrive for Business from the web

Description:
We’re updating the user experience for sharing files and folders in OneDrive for Business from the web.  This new sharing experience simplifies the flow of emailing links to colleagues and guests and copying links to the clipboard. Like the original experience, the new experience presents two choices to users who want to share: type email addresses to send a link in email, or copy a link to the clipboard. Both the “Share” and “Get a link” command support all three types of links in OneDrive, including anonymous access links (accessible by anyone), company shareable links (accessible to those within your organization) and restricted links (accessible to a custom set of users both in and outside your organization). This allows users to more easily choose their method of sharing (email or copying to clipboard) while retaining the full set of permissions choices. As always, the new sharing experience respects all IT sharing and access policies that are in place, so users will be able to get their work done while complying with the practices established by their IT administrators. It is rolling out to customers this month and we expect it to be complete in February.

SharePoint Server 2016 - Feature Pack 1 (FP1)

Description:
We’re pleased to announce that we’re ahead of schedule with our inaugural Feature Pack for SharePoint Server 2016. Feature Pack 1, available in November, brings several enhancements driven by recent innovation in Office 365 and feedback from you on UserVoice, including:

*  Logging of administrative actions performed in Central      Administration and with Windows PowerShell.
*  Enhancements to MinRole to support small environments.
*  A new OneDrive for Business user experience.
*  Custom tiles in the SharePoint app launcher.
*  Unified auditing across site collections on-premises      and in Office 365.
*  Unified taxonomy across on-premises and Office 365.
*  OneDrive API 2.0.

Unlike previous versions of SharePoint, release-to-manufacture (RTM) did not define the end of innovation, but the beginning. As we continue to develop SharePoint Server 2016, we’ve paid close attention to customer feedback, trends in content management, team collaboration, user experiences across devices, and how the cloud can be blended into existing on-premises scenarios in new and compelling ways. Feature Packs allow us to accelerate delivery of cloud-first features to our Software Assurance customers (where noted) of SharePoint Server 2016 outside of the traditional 2- to 3-year release cadence.
SharePoint Server 2016 and the coming FP1 enable hybrid scenarios across on-premises and Office 365 online. You can enable hybrid search, connected experiences with OneDrive for Business, Delve, Yammer and Office 365 Video, and now with FP1 you can perform a unified audit and take advantage of a unified taxonomy. For more information on other SharePoint and Office 365 hybrid scenarios, see hybrid.office.com.
There is no cost associated with Feature Pack 1; however, some features of Feature Pack 1 are limited to Software Assurance customers where noted in this post.

Office 365 Business center

Description:
The Office 365 Business center brings Bookings, Connections, Listings and Invoicing together in a central location—so you have easy access to your business apps and data. It features a unified dashboard where you can view key metrics from all the business apps, including total outstanding invoices, the number of appointments scheduled, the impressions across Facebook, Google, Bing and Yelp, and the number of new subscribers and sent campaigns. The Business center includes an activity feed, so you can see the details of what’s happening within each of the apps—making it easy to keep up-to-date on new customer appointments, invoices and payments being created or updated by the employees in your business. The activity feed also provides suggestions on what actions to take next, such as alerting you that a payment is overdue and it’s time to resend an invoice. Because the new business apps are built to work together, you don’t waste valuable time setting up connectors or transferring data manually. A contact in one business app is automatically recognized in another, so you don’t have to input data multiple times. As a business owner, you also have full control over who on your team gets access to which business apps and related information. Office 365 Business center is available on the web. It is rolling out in preview over the next few weeks to Office 365 Business Premium subscribers in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, starting with those in the First Release program.

Outlook for iOS and Android backend update

Description:
The Outlook app for iOS & Android is now fully powered by the Microsoft Cloud for Office 365 customers!
As the code for the Outlook app for iOS & Android was based on Microsoft's acquisition of Acompli, it previously leveraged cloud components that ran outside of Microsoft’s datacenters. While more than 40 million users and businesses have already adopted Outlook, moving these cloud components to run natively in Microsoft-run datacenters has been a top priority since launch. This move is now complete for Office 365 commercial customers. Moving fully into the Microsoft Cloud helps effectively address the legal, regulatory and compliance needs of Office 365 customers in industries like banking, government, public sector and healthcare. For Office 365 customers, the Outlook app is now fully delivered through Microsoft services that provide a strong commitment to security, privacy and compliance.

Over the next several months NDRs generated by Office 365 will be enhanced to make it easier to understand and fix many message delivery problems. To start, they'll look better, friendlier, less intimidating to end-users. They'll explain the problem and cause in simple, everyday language, with clear steps the sender can take to try to fix the problem. Enhanced NDRs will include an "at-a-glance" delivery status graphic that summarizes the cause of the problem and where it needs to be fixed (sender side, recipient side, or by Microsoft supportengineers). A "More Info for Email Admins" section will provide an in-depth explanation of the problem and solution, and will include expanded technical details, often with a link to a Web-based article for in-depth information. And while the original message headers, in their mono-spaced typeface and primitively word-wrapped magnificence, will still appear at the bottom of the NDR, we'll also expose them in a formatted table, making iteasier to follow the message's server to server hop path and more quickly spot problems between hops.

Enhanced NDRs

Description:
Regardless which email system or service you use, when an email message you send can't be delivered you'll receive a non-delivery report (NDR) or bounce message. While the NDR will tell you the message wasn't delivered, it's usually not very helpful in identifying the exact cause of the failure nor how to fix it. While advances in technology over the last 30 years have been immense, the state of the art in NDRs is still just an homage to 1982. That's about to change.  Over the next several months NDRs generated by Office 365 will be enhanced to make it easier to understand and fix many message delivery problems. To start, they'll look better, friendlier, less intimidating to end-users. They'll explain the problem and cause in simple, everyday language, with clear steps the sender can take to try to fix the problem. Enhanced NDRs will include an "at-a-glance" delivery status graphic that summarizes the cause of the problem and where it needs to be fixed (sender side, recipient side, or by Microsoft supportengineers).

Enhanced NDRs in Office 365 will make it easier to understand and resolve many message delivery failures when they do happen, so you can get it fixed and get back to business in less time than ever before.

NDR backscatter protection

Description:
Backscatter spam occurs when a spammer spoofs your email address and sends it to a random person on the Internet. The random person?s mail server accepts the email message and then later discovers it can?t deliver it. There are a few reasons why this occurs:The random person?s mailbox is fullThe random person?s mail server rejects spamThe random person?s email address does not existWhen that happens, the random person?s mail server sends a bounce message (non-delivery receipt, or NDR) back to the sender saying ?Sorry, I could not deliver this message.? However, instead of sending it back to the spammer who sent the message, the mail server sends it back to you.You then receive this NDR in your mailbox indicating that the message ?you? sent could not be delivered. But rather than being informed ?your? message bounced, you say ?Why am I getting bounces for a message I never sent?? Often times, these bounces contain spam.Exchange Online Protection is improving its backscatter spam detection with Boomerang - a technique originating in outlook.com which using cryptography  and checks to see if a message did originally originate within the service, or is spam. If valid, the message is delivered to your inbox. If backscatter, the message is marked as spam.This will ensure the backscatter NDR bounces stay out of your inboxes, but legitimate NDRs get delivered.

Because people are increasingly using the same devices and apps to get things done at work and at home, the ability to store and share files in the cloud is essential on both fronts.Users can now get to their personal or work files, easily share with family or coworkers, and ensure that they?re never without the files that matter to them ? all from a single app. Your personal and work accounts are kept separate, and OneDrive makes it clear when you?re accessing your work or personal files. So you don?t need to worry about accidentally backing up your photos to your work account.

Description:
Administrators can now more easily manage SharePoint Online team sites' storage quota based on real usage, and are no longer required to set fixed storage allotments per site collection. If an admin opts-in to the storage usage model, by selecting "Auto" within the SharePoint Online Admin Center, every site collection will utilize storage from the broad tenant pooled storage and will continue to 'auto'-grow up to a maximum of 1TB per site collection. If an admin chooses not to opt-in, and to manage storage "manually" per individually per site collection, they will now set usage caps instead of allocating fixed amounts. Whether you select "Auto" or to "Manual," SharePoint Online site collection quota management becomes simpler by removing management overhead and/or 'loss of storage' that has been allocated but not used.
