Microsoft Purview: Data Loss Prevention-Admin Units Support for Copilot & Cowork DLP

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is extending Administrative Units support to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Chat, and Cowork. This enables organizations to delegate management of supported Copilot DLP policies to administrators within their assigned Administrative Units, supporting regional, departmental, and regulatory boundaries without granting tenant-wide policy-management permissions. Existing tenant-wide policies continue to apply, and configuration is optional for organizations choosing to use Administrative Unit (AU)-scoped management.

Dynamics 365 Finance: Improved planning writeback performance and flexibility

Business performance planning improves the performance and flexibility of writeback from the Matrix visual. Writeback processing has been optimized to improve performance for planning adjustments, particularly for larger splash and multi-update operations. The improvements also optimize writeback for users with dimension security, where additional security validation is required. In addition, report designers no longer need to include a field from every cube dimension in the Matrix visual to enable writeback. The Matrix can now be designed using only the dimensions relevant to the planning…

Dynamics 365 Finance: Manage dimension security with Microsoft Entra groups

Administrators can now assign Microsoft Dataverse group teams backed by Microsoft Entra groups to Business performance planning dimension security groups. Previously, dimension security assignments were limited to individual users. The updated experience allows administrators to view and add eligible Entra group-backed teams alongside users, with separate membership information for each assignment type. To use this capability, the Dataverse group team must first be configured correctly and assigned an appropriate Business performance planning security role.

Power Apps: Manage model-driven app AI features from consolidated settings

Consolidated AI settings make it easier for makers and admins to find and manage AI capabilities for model-driven apps across two complementary surfaces. In Maker Studio, the Settings dialog in the model app form designer adds a new top-level Copilot and AI tab. Makers can see and adjust all available AI options for the app in one place instead of finding them scattered among all the other settings. In the Power Platform admin center, model-driven app AI settings are consolidated from Environment > Settings into Copilot Hub > Power Apps. This provides a central location for settings…

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management: Procurement Agent - Define custom scenarios for agent-generated supplier emails

Business end-users and buyers can define and maintain their own outbound follow-up scenarios and use them wherever built-in scenarios are used today: Scenario maintenance — a dedicated setup page where users create, edit, and maintain custom follow-up scenarios. Each scenario carries its own name, the instructions that shape the email the agent writes, and the business entity it applies to. Scenario-driven configuration — follow-up configurations are built around the chosen scenario, so criteria, email content, and agent behavior all follow the scenario the user selected. Scenario-driven…

Microsoft 365 Apps: Cloud Update - Extended rollback support for Monthly Enterprise Channel

Cloud Update is expanding rollback options for devices on Monthly Enterprise Channel. Administrators will be able to roll back devices to a release from two versions prior, with the latest available security updates for that release, and keep devices in the rolled-back state across subsequent releases until they are ready to resume updates. This provides additional time to investigate and resolve compatibility issues while maintaining security coverage and centralized control through the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center.

Microsoft Purview: Information Protection - Rights Management connector – Certificate-based authentication

The Microsoft Rights Management (RMS) connector is moving from shared-secret authentication to certificate-based authentication, improving its security posture. With this update, administrators configure their own Microsoft Entra app registration and certificate, then use the new PowerShell module to configure the certificate for each workload (Connector, Exchange, SharePoint, and FCI). New PowerShell cmdlets handle certificate import, registry configuration, private-key permissions, and validation. As part of this change, the connector setup no longer provisions an Entra service principal or…
