Microsoft 365 Message Center: Whats New

Key insights

• OneDrive document library views
  OneDrive for the web will show the custom document library views you created, making it easier to find and organize files right from OneDrive.
  Improves navigation for shared libraries and keeps your saved views consistent across SharePoint and OneDrive.
• Teams AI meeting archive
  Teams will generate archived files for AI meeting notes so meeting summaries and transcripts store automatically for later review.
  This helps teams keep a searchable record of decisions and action items without manual exporting.
• Passphrases by default (Entra)
  Microsoft Entra will enable passkeys by default and retire Microsoft-provided SMS and voice authentication, encouraging stronger, phishing-resistant sign-in methods.
  Admins should prepare for the change and guide users to register passkeys or other modern authenticators.
• OneDrive selective sync: exclude folders
  OneDrive will let users exclude specific folders from syncing to a device, saving storage and bandwidth while keeping other files in sync.
  This gives users finer control over which content they keep offline.
• Excel Copilot: summarize and categorize text
  Excel’s Copilot can summarize text columns and generate categories automatically, speeding up data review and analysis for large text-based datasets.
  Use this to clean data, surface trends, and reduce manual tagging work.
• PowerPoint Copilot: reuse OneDrive custom skills
  PowerPoint Copilot will access user-defined custom skills stored in OneDrive, so Copilot suggestions reflect your organization’s templates and branded assets.
  This streamlines slide creation and keeps presentations consistent with company style and messaging.
