What and why

Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management is introducing the ability to archive SharePoint files based on retention policies.

What and why

Microsoft Purview is introducing sensitivity labels for Microsoft Entra cloud security groups. This capability extends label-based protection currently available for Microsoft 365 groups and SharePoint sites to cloud security groups.

With this change, organizations can apply published Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels directly to security groups and automatically enforce membership and guest access policies when groups are created or labeled. This helps administrators apply governance policies consistently across group types, reduce the risk of oversharing, and support controlled self-service group creation.

Introduction

We are introducing a new capability that allows users to connect Microsoft Teams meetings to existing Microsoft Planner plans.

Currently, Teams meetings automatically create separate Planner plans for meeting-related tasks, which can result in tasks for the same initiative being spread across multiple plans. This update enables users to link meetings to an existing plan so tasks can be tracked in a single location, improving organization and continuity across ongoing work.

Introduction

To help organizations better protect sensitive files in transit, we're introducing a public preview for extending Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to the network through integration with Entra Global Secure Access Internet Access. Through this integration, organizations can intercept and inspect file traffic at the network layer and enforce actions based on DLP policy conditions. It helps prevent sensitive files from being shared with untrusted cloud applications through browsers, apps, APIs, add-ins, and more—including generative AI platforms, cloud storage, and content-sharing services—while managing alerts and incidents through Purview and Microsoft Defender.

Updated October 1, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management is introducing a policy recommendation panel to help administrators identify gaps in insider risk coverage and strengthen protections. While policies provide protection against insider risks, organizations may not always have visibility into missing or high-value configurations. This enhancement provides guidance on which policies are missing or offer the most incremental value, using analytics to generate actionable recommendations that improve coverage across scenarios such as data leakage, data theft, risky AI usage, IP theft, and security violations.

Updated September 29, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction

To support deeper analysis of Copilot agent adoption and usage across your organization, Microsoft will introduce a new export capability in the Agent Dashboard. This feature will allow eligible users to download de‑identified Copilot agent usage data for analysis, helping organizations track adoption trends, optimize licensing, and support AI transformation strategies, while maintaining existing privacy and access controls. User identifiers are removed from the output.

This feature will require at least 50 Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses and will apply to the Viva Insights web app.

We are updating the entry point for Copilot in Outlook to be more visually appealing and consistent. Located next to the Outlook ribbon, the Copilot entry point makes it easier for users to discover and use Copilot as they work. In addition to chat, it also surfaces contextual, AI-powered recommendations based on the task at hand, such as reading email, composing messages, or managing a calendar. With a single click, users can act on these suggestions to quickly summarize content, draft responses, organize information, and accomplish tasks more efficiently. The experience is designed to bring relevant Copilot capabilities closer to the user's workflow while providing a consistent Copilot experience across Microsoft 365 applications.

What and why

We are introducing enhanced IntelliFrame capabilities for Teams Rooms on Windows using an expanded AI data channel on certified intelligent cameras. This update enables faster active speaker framing, improved in-room participant recognition and labeling, and more responsive meeting views.

By processing AI metadata directly on the device and sending it through a dedicated data channel rather than relying only on cloud processing, this feature reduces dependency on network conditions and improves performance in bandwidth-constrained environments. This helps deliver a more consistent and intelligent meeting experience for both in-room and remote participants.
