The Microsoft 365 monthly update includes updates and recently recent features across all of Microsoft 365. You can take a look back at previous monthly updates here, plus take a look at our weekly roadmap roundup.
SharePoint
Advanced tenant rename
For organizations going through rebranding, mergers, acquisitions, or consolidations, SharePoint Advanced Management now provides Advanced Tenant Rename. With this feature, organizations with up to 100,000 total sites can modify their domain name, giving them more control and the option to prioritize up to 4,000 sites for early execution within the rename. If you opt for Advanced Tenant Rename, all SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business URLs will display the new domain name. Some workloads may require additional actions after the rename. If you’re not planning to rename, there won’t be any change.

SharePoint document libraries: Improved Version history controls (Preview)
Version storage controls allow you as admins to set an appropriate level of recoverability and auditability for your organization. And, based on strong customer feedback, Microsoft will release enhanced version storage controls so you can meet your needs efficiently and at scale. Microsoft are introducing new version controls that help admins and content owners reduce storage footprint driven by low value file versions. Previously, document library owners could set count-based version limits at the library level.
New Version history limit options to meet your organization’s recovery objectives and version storage targets. Set version limits to:
- Automatically optimize version recovery and storage without estimating limits or Manually limit versions by count or version age.
- Set default organization Version history limits on new document libraries and Microsoft OneDrive accounts for consistent version storage setting on all new libraries and OneDrive accounts created through the organization.
- Set Site or Library level Version history limits to meet specific content needs by breaking inheritance from organization defaults.
- Report on version storage use of a site or library by generating a CSV report to analyze current usage trends or impact analysis.
- Delete versions from a site or library to reduce existing version storage footprint or align with new limits.

Updates to the file viewer for non-Office files in OneDrive and SharePoint
The enhanced file viewer for Microsoft 365 now offers a quick and easy way to view your files in OneDrive for the web and SharePoint in Microsoft 365. It’s now more useful and intuitive – with a new toolbar, new panes, and collaboration features. The new file viewer has a dark mode background, an updated command bar, and file navigation arrows positioned in the middle of the page.

SharePoint + Stream: New video page templates
Get ready to create video pages and news posts directly from the Stream web app. For the first time ever, you can create a page outside of SharePoint for videos stored on a SharePoint site. In the Stream web app, if you have editing access, you select the new ‘Create video news post’ button under the video’s Share dropdown menu. Then, review the new templates and select the page template you prefer.

SharePoint: New Section Level Content Align on pages
A new feature is coming to SharePoint that allows authors to align content across columns at the top, center, or bottom of a section. This option is available for 2-column and 3-column sections and will be rolled out worldwide from mid to late May 2024. These alignments can be found in your section properties for 2-column and 3-column sections. For single column sections, alignment options are unavailable since content will create the minimum amount of vertical space to house it by default, making additional configuration redundant.

Microsoft 365: Archive feature for inactive sites on SharePoint
Microsoft is launching an archive feature for SharePoint to store inactive sites, aiming to reduce storage costs. The feature will be accessible worldwide from late April to mid-May 2024, and can be managed by SharePoint and Global admins through the SharePoint admin center or PowerShell. Users can identify suitable inactive sites for archiving and will need to enable the Archive feature via the Microsoft 365 admin center once it’s released.

AI-generated notes and AI-generated tasks in intelligent meeting recap are now available in 15 additional languages: Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Korean, Norwegian (Bokmal), Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish. This will enable more people to have meetings in their chosen language and review the AI-generated notes and tasks later, so they can concentrate on the meeting itself rather than on taking notes. This functionality will start rolling out in May and will be available to Teams Premium and Copilot for M365 licensed users.
Find out more: Intelligent meeting recap in Teams Premium, now available
Meeting recap and artifacts automatically shared in chat after meeting
You will now receive a summary of everything that happened in a meeting inside the meeting chat right after the meeting ends.

Save meeting content with collaborative annotations as a Whiteboard
Collaborative annotations let meeting presenters add drawings, notes, reactions, text highlights, and more on the screen being shared during a meeting. Now, screen sharers can save the annotated content to Whiteboard, so all meeting participants can access it later and continue working on it. To save your content with annotations to Whiteboard, you need the Teams desktop app on Windows or MacOS. When you share your screen in a Teams meeting, click “Annotate” in the presenter toolbar, and after making annotations, click “Capture a snapshot” in the annotations toolbar. This will add a snapshot in a Whiteboard file with all the annotations from the meeting.
Find out more: Use annotation while sharing your screen in Microsoft Teams
Presenters can interact with background content when collaborative annotation enabled
Now, when meeting participants are annotating while screen-sharing, they can interact with the underlying shared content, like advance to the next slide or scroll down a document, and resume where they left off without restarting the annotations session. To enable this, click “Start interacting with background” in the annotations toolbar. This is now available in the Teams desktop app and Teams web app.
Find out more: Now in public preview: Collaborative Annotation
New avatar wardrobe options
Discover new avatar wardrobe options, more professional attire, and improved texture, fit, and color of clothes in the Avatar Builder.

Trimming lets you hide any part of a video from your viewers, without changing the original file. Open the recorded video of a meeting in the Stream web app and click the edit button. When you’re done trimming you can toggle to the preview mode to see the trimmed video before saving it. The meeting transcript and chapters will be updated automatically to match the trimmed video. Users with edit permissions can still see the full original content and edit or delete the trimmed parts.

Programmatic desktop sharing
Programmatic desktop sharing is a new feature that lets developers create Teams apps for meetings that can share specific app content on the screen. For example, if you use a poll app in a meeting, as a meeting presenter you can now show the poll results from the app in chat directly onto the meeting stage. This feature allows app developers to design meeting apps that can also display the content of their app or parts of it on the meeting stage for different purposes.
Live Share support for Chat, Channel, and Collaborative Stageview tab applications
Microsoft Teams applications that use Live Share for building real-time collaborative experiences can now work in different types of tabs, such as Chat, Channel, and Collaborative Stageview tabs on desktop and web. Live Share lets you and your team members watch, create, and edit content together in real time. All applications that have the Live Share permission in your tenant can use this new feature.
Open Teams app content in multi-window Stageview
With multi-window Stageview, developers can now build Teams apps that open content in multi-window experiences and unlock multi-tasking workflows for Teams users. This allows app users to engage with content and conversation side-by-side to get a more productive experience without giving away content focus.
Frontline workers/ Vertical solutions

The dashboard will show a table with usage data for each frontline location on Microsoft Teams, and soon will include usage data for more frontline apps like Walkie Talkie, Shifts and Tasks. Admins can filter the table by locations and specify a date range for which they want to see usage data. The usage data can also be exported to a CSV file.
- Task publishing: require approval for completed work – Task publishing includes new features that greatly improve worker visibility in tasks that are necessary and important, while helping frontline managers ensure that work is completed to satisfaction. Now, a frontline manager can make it mandatory to get approval for completed work. For more details, check out the new Planner: new task features for organizations with frontline workers.
