🍾 LAUNCHED

•  SharePoint: Site sharing e-mails will now send from the sharing user’s mailbox – Today, the site sharing e-mails come from no-reply@sharepointonline.com.

🚂 ROLLING OUT

• SharePoint: Private drafts for SharePoint pages and news – We’re adding the ability to create private drafts for pages and news posts.

It’s great for creating and editing content that’s not ready for others to see except the people you want to collaborate with. Feature ID:85629
