| MC284259 | (Updated) Microsoft Forms new App "Polls" in Teams | Updated May 13, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Microsoft Forms has always focused on providing the best polling experience to our customers. However, according to customer feedback and telemetry, we have determined that many people don't know the "Forms" App provides polling capability in Teams. To provide a better experience we are delivering a new Teams app specifically for polling capabilities. This new app will be discoverable in Teams meetings/chats as “Polls”. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 84567 [When this will happen:] We will begin rolling this out starting in Teams meetings and then moving to Teams chat in February (previously mid-October) and expect to complete by late May (previously late April). The original "Forms" app will be retired from Teams meetings in March (previously January), and then will be retired from Teams chat in April (previously February). Once retired from meetings/chat the “Forms” app will only be available in the Teams channel tab to provide Survey capabilities. |

| MC333945 | (Updated) Updates to Threat Explorer and Email entity page | Updated April 29, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. As part of Hunting improvements, we are making updates to the Email entity page, and Threat Explorer and Real-Time Detections. These updates should help provide additional data points and context for security analysts. These updates include: Updates to Email entity Page will include: A section around Threat Detection Details which will contain information around Threat, the corresponding detection technology and if the detection ran into any additional context. We will also light up additional email attributes like To, CC, Distribution list, Client information and forwarding (indicating if email forwarding was involved) Override information would include the Primary override and Source (Primary override is the override which impacted the delivery of the email) as well as any additional overrides that were applicable to the email. If a URL or a File was allowed due to a tenant policy like Tenant Allow/Block list, then that information would be shown in the entity views as well. Updates to Threat Explorer will include: Threat Explorer filters around System Override and System Override source would be renamed to Primary Override and Primary Override source to indicate the specific overrides which impacted the delivery of the email. This will help the analyst to locate malicious emails delivered due to potential config gaps, as well as identifying any tenant or user level configurations which have impacted the delivery of an email. In addition to the name updates for the above 2 filters, we will also be lighting up new filters to cover scenarios like if an email contained forwarding or not. [When this will happen:] We expect these updates to begin rolling out in early March and expect the rollout to be completed by late May (previously late April). |

The previous Message Center post MC303513 (Dec '21) mentioned that we’re planning to retire the recipient and sender notification configuration in anti-malware policies. After reviewing customer feedback, we’re changing how we’re planning to retire those recipient and sender notifications. The current notification settings are commonly used for messages that are blocked/quarantined as detected malware, or due to a file attachment in the common attachment filter settings. As part of this change, we’re separating out the handling of notifications based on whether the message was scanned and found to be malicious vs. matches from the common attachment filter: True malware: Both recipient and sender notifications will be retired. The message will be quarantined, and the selected quarantine policy configuration determines whether to send the end-user notifications. There is no option for sender notification. [When this will happen:] Starting early June (previously mid-May) and completion of deployment by late July (previously late June) |

| MC386412 | Flow.microsoft.com is moving to make.powerautomate.com | Over the next several weeks (June-July 2022), we will be in the process of moving our Power Automate portal to a new common Power Platform infrastructure which will include new domains for the Power Automate portal. Once we enable this, the existing Power Automate URLs will start redirecting to the new URLs.
What actions do I need to take? However, you need to make sure that the new URLs are not blocked by your network so that they will work when the redirect occurs. Here is the list of the new URLs that you need to make sure they are not blocked by your network: *.powerautomate.com gov.flow.microsoft.us gov.flow.microsoft.us Note: These new sites may be accessible with your existing accounts today. However, unless redirect occurs automatically, these new sites are not officially released. Any access or other issues related to the new URLs should be reported to Microsoft only after the official release dates (i.e when URL automatically redirects). |
