• Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365: Restricted SharePoint Search – Restricted SharePoint Search (RSS) is a setting that will allow Global/Tenant and SharePoint Admins to disable organization-wide search and select a set of curated SharePoint sites. These selected sites, along with the users’ OneDrive files and content, will then become accessible in search and in the Copilot experiences. This means that whether you have Enterprise Search or Restricted SharePoint Search enabled, users in your organization will still be able to interact with their OneDrive information in Copilot. Find out more: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=385352

• SharePoint: DocuSign Integration with SharePoint eSignature – SharePoint users who are also DocuSign customers can initiate eSignatures directly from PDF documents. The eSignature request will be processed by DocuSign and a copy of the signed document will be automatically saved in SharePoint after signing. This reduces the risks of potential data leakage that customers often report as they move sensitive documents between SharePoint and 3rd party eSignature platforms. Manual download or upload of documents will no longer be required when initiating the request or when saving the signed documents back to SharePoint for long term storage. Find out more: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=382128
