🍾 LAUNCHED
- OneDrive and SharePoint: Adjusting version retention for PST files – PST files are a type of Outlook Data File which can consume a lot of storage – especially when versions are considered. The service will now limit the number of PST versions retained, often resulting in less storage consumption. Roadmap ID: 72237
- Microsoft Viva: SharePoint Integration – The Knowledge Admin provides a site URL for where the Learning Service can create an empty centralized location – Learning App Content Repository – in the form of a structured SharePoint List. This list can be used by the organization to house links to cross-company SharePoint folders containing learning content. Admins are responsible for collecting and curating a list of URLs for folders. These folders should only include content that can be made available in the Learning app. Roadmap ID: 82174
🚂 ROLLING OUT
N/A
⌛ IN DEVELOPMENT
Release – November 2021
- 🆕 Microsoft Lists: Share and comment icons appear for Grid view in edit mode – People will now see icons for sharing and commenting while hovering over an item in Grid edit mode, bringing to parity the same functionality when in Grid view. Roadmap ID: 82178
- SharePoint Syntex: Modern site-level term store – A modern experience to create and manage site-level taxonomies for your sites. Roadmap ID: 85638
Release – December 2021
- 🆕 SharePoint: SharePoint admin center – updated homepage dashboard for sovereign clouds – When you first land in the SharePoint admin center, we want it to be both familiar and useful at a glance. The idea is to provide a familiar experience, taking a similar design approach as the Microsoft admin center. You’ll see more and more cards and graphs appear over time so you can see insights on files, usage security, recommendations, training and so on. Better see what’s happening, and then take the appropriate action. Roadmap ID: 82179
- SharePoint Syntex: Metadata search – Find content with precision using automatic forms to query any metadata fields on the library. Roadmap ID: 88714
- SharePoint: Improvements to the authoring experience in SharePoint Pages – This change will make it easier for users to understand where they are in a page by adding labels to each content area. These changes also reduce clutter by consolidating web part editing actions into a single toolbar and placing authors into focus mode by default to remove visual distractions while editing. Roadmap ID: 82177
Release – January 2022
- SharePoint: Updated Tag column for images – Image tags are automatically created and includes descriptive labels when they are uploaded into SharePoint within Microsoft 365. This improves Microsoft Search results. With the new update, people will be able to manually add or remove tags from this column using freeform text or from the managed metadata service (your company taxonomy). Additionally, we are designing a new flow trigger in Power Automate that will allow programmable actions based on these tags. Roadmap ID: 68902
- OneDrive and SharePoint for Business: Library Dropdown – We’re adding a dropdown that allows you to easily switch between multiple document libraries associated with a Team or Site. Roadmap ID: 81990
Release – June 2022
- 🆕 SharePoint: Migrate SharePoint 2010 and 2013 workflows to Power Automate – Provide Microsoft 365 customers with a tool to migrate SharePoint-based workflows to Power Automate. You will be able to migrate SharePoint 2010 (out-of-the-box) workflows and SharePoint 2013 (SharePoint Designer) workflows to Power Automate flows. Initially this will be implemented via PowerShell, and in future it will be more integrated into the SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT). Roadmap ID: 82108
