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. |

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 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. |

Templates allow you to quickly create many users by saving and reusing the shared settings for these users. 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. |

| 2019-08-13 | New Feature | Status: In Development Title: 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. |

| 2019-08-02 | New Feature | Status: In Development Title: 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. |

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. |

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. |

| 2019-06-28 | Description | Description: 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. |

| 2019-06-27 | New Feature | Status: In Development Title: 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. |
