Tony Redmond: “The changes in Microsoft 365 keep on coming thick and fast. Changes range from the introduction of fundamental new technology like Microsoft 365 Copilot to an update to a small product detail. In this case, the Azure AD admin center is moving to the Microsoft Entra admin center. Microsoft has its own reasons for making this change, which will ripple out across the community to affect content developers and trainers. Is that a problem? Only if you don’t respond.”
The ongoing changes in Microsoft 365 range from major introductions of new functionality, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, to small updates in how something appears. One example of change is the replacement of the Azure AD admin center with the Microsoft Entra admin center from April 1, 2023, which is part of Microsoft’s unification of its identity management platform. Microsoft is well-known for its rebranding campaigns, such as the recent renaming of Teams’ preview version indicator from “P” to “EA.” These changes can have a ripple effect on documentation and training in the wider technical community. However, Microsoft will continue to make changes when and how they like, and content producers must respond proactively.
