Enabling Modern Auth for Managed Tenants |
We?re constantly improving the security of Office 365 products and services. Modern Authentication is one of the best ways of ensuring that your clients can take advantage of authentication features like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and third-party SAML identity providers. All new Office 365 tenants created on or after August 1, 2017 have Modern Authentication enabled by default in Exchange Online for all clients. We're making a change so that Modern Authentication will be enabled for the Windows Outlook client and Skype for Business client in all managed (non-federated) tenants that were created before to August 1, 2017. Those tenants already have Modern Authentication enabled for Outlook mobile, Outlook for Mac and Outlook on the Web, so there are no changes to any of those clients. |

Office 365 license activation changes |
In August, we will start rolling out changes to Office 365 licensing technology to make it more reliable and resilient. These changes will help simplify activation management and streamline the Office activation experience for users. Users will still sign-in to activate Office on their devices, and if single sign-on is enabled, Office will automatically pick up the credentials and activate Office. As part of your subscription, users can still install and activate Office 365 apps on up to five PCs or Macs, five tablets, and five smartphones. Previously, users who reached this limit were prompted to deactivate an existing install before activating Office on a new device. Going forward, Office will automatically sign the user out of the user?s least recently used device when the user exceeds the limit, eliminating unnecessary friction. In August, we?ll start slowly rolling out these changes to commercial customers on Monthly Channel. No additional action is required on your part. |

You can save values for roles, licenses assigned, contact information, location, and more. When you use the template to create a new user, they will automatically get the saved value for these settings. Example: I have a large group of engineers starting in Redmond. I know that they will all be users with no admin role, Microsoft 365 Business, be located in the United States, be Engineer 1, be in the engineering department, and be in the Redmond office. I can save all of these values to a ?Redmond engineer? template. When I go to create the users, I can use this template to prepopulate all these values. Templates will be rolling out slowly over starting in the beginning of September. We will be looking at expanding the scenarios and functionality for templates over the next few months. |

Microsoft Information Protection: Auto classification with sensitivity labels in SPO, EXO, OneDrive |
We?re excited to announce Auto Classification with sensitivity labels in OneDrive, SharePoint Online, and Exchange Online. As you may already know sensitivity labels are central to Microsoft Information Protection. You can apply a sensitivity label to important documents and associate it with protection policies and actions like encryption and visual marking. You can already use sensitivity labels by allowing users to manually classify emails and documents by applying these labels based on their assessment of the content and their interpretation of the organizational guidelines. However, users can sometimes forget to apply labels or apply them inaccurately. With this preview, you can start using sensitivity labels at scale for documents stored on OneDrive and SharePoint Online, and for emails in transit in Exchange Online automatically without manual user input. |

Now, the left pane will show all the device types: Phones, Teams Rooms, Collaboration Bars. IT admins will be able to create configuration profiles for individual device types.

The group name won't resolve during the creation of a new message in Outlook. Additionally, the hideFromAddressLists property will also be set to True to prevent the group from showing in the Global Address List (GAL). If hideFromOutlookClients is changed to False, hideFromAddressLists will also be changed to False. ?Setting hideFromAddressLists by itself will control whether the group is hidden or shown in the Global Address List (GAL), but will have no impact on whether the group shows in the Outlook left-hand navigation or resolves during the creation of a new message.

Safe Documents is available worldwide |
With Safe Documents, we?re bringing the power of the Intelligent Security Graph down to the desktop to verify that documents are safe at the endpoint itself. Although Protected View helps secure documents originating outside the organization, too often users would exit this sandbox without great consideration and leave their networks vulnerable. Bringing a minimal trust approach to the Office 365 ProPlus clients, Safe Documents automatically checks the document against known risks and threat profiles before allowing to open. Users are not asked to decide on their own whether a document can be trusted; they can simply focus on the work to be done. This seamless connection between the desktop and the cloud both simplifies the user workflow and helps to keep the network more secure. And with every malicious attack contained, the entire Intelligent Security Graph becomes stronger, benefiting everyone. |

Exchange: Block sending to a Distribution Group when it?s on the BCC line |

When this feature ships we?ll enable the ability for group and distribution list owners and admins to block sending to a group if the group is put on the Bcc line. If a user puts such a group on the Bcc line and sends the message, it?ll be rejected with a non-delivery report (NDR) saying Bcc?ing this group isn?t allowed. |

Search your document like you search the web.

For example, technincian vs. technician. Forms of words: When there are different forms of the word in document and query. For example: tech, technology, technologies?; or USA, U.S.A, United States, United States of America; or newborn, new born, new-born, etc. Synonyms: For example: citation, quotation, quote, reference might be all the candidates for a term that you are searching for inside the document. A multi-word query: A single word query might lead to too many search results. A modern semantic search can often yield better results. For example: as a query of Oil Price, the content having Price of Oil, Prices of the Oil, Cost of Oil can offer related matches from within the document content. |
