Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: In channels, we will rename the Files tab as the Shared tab to enable users to view content shared in posts and content in the document library in one place. Note: The Shared tab in chats will not be affected by this change.

Transitioning from user's OneDrive to SharePoint for Whiteboards created in Teams Channels MC1024395 Published Mar 5, 2025

We are updating the storage location for Whiteboards created from the Teams Channel Tab App. Previously, these whiteboards were saved on the initiator's OneDrive, which caused access issues due to sharing settings, information barriers, or conditional access policies. To resolve these issues and align with the behavior of other M365 apps, whiteboards initiated from the Teams Channel Tab App will now be stored in the corresponding SharePoint site of the Teams Channel (also known as the channel site). This change ensures seamless access for all channel members while adhering to set policies.

We will begin rolling out in early April 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.

Microsoft Entra: New built-in Viva Glint Tenant Administrator role MC1011149 Published Feb 20, 2025

We are excited to announce the upcoming Viva Glint Tenant Administrator role for Microsoft Viva Glint in Microsoft Entra. With this role, admins will have dedicated permissions to manage Viva Glint-related settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center, without requiring the elevated privileges of Global Admin or User Admin roles. This role is essential for users who need to read and configure Viva Glint settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center, assign Viva Glint service admins, and create or manage Microsoft Azure support tickets.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 479414.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late March 2025 and expect to complete by early April 2025.

 

Microsoft Viva Insights: New “Brokers of Information flow” insights category available for Change Management template MC1009934 Published Feb 19, 2025

As part of the Microsoft Viva Insights Change Management template, a third insights category will soon be available, focused on highlighting employee groups deemed to be “Brokers of information flow.” Groups identified as top information brokers serve as key disseminators of information throughout the employee network. The experience associated with the third insights category will surface the groups that are deemed as “central hubs” dictating information flow. However, while they might be an important communication channel, these groups could also cause collaboration barriers, since a significant proportion of information flows through these groups.

By identifying these groups, this new insight category can help business leaders see where there might be potential barriers to communication flow within their company.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 and expect to complete by late-February 2025.
