MC527929 (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Change Call Queue and Auto Attendant Greetings and Announcements by Authorized Users Updated March 21, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Changing business conditions often require adjustments to call queue/auto attendant greetings and announcements. However, it can be difficult to identify the right Teams admin to make these changes, and addressing high request volumes can be time-consuming for the responsible admins. With the introduction of user managed CQ/AA greetings for Teams Phone, authorized users (as identified by Teams tenant admins) can change greetings and announcements for their respective call queues and auto attendant directly from the user’s Teams settings, in the “Calls” settings. To implement this capability, tenant admins must select permissible greetings/announcement changes for a voice policy, and then authorize specific users in the Teams Admin Center.

MC535702 (Updated) Upcoming behavior change to the "DoNotRewrite" List With the deployment of the Tenant Allow/Block List, as being the single source of truth for Tenant Allows, other mechanisms for Tenant Allows are being removed. This will give SecOps teams one place to manage all Tenant Allows.

Today, the “DoNotRewrite” list is used to Skip:

Wrapping URLs

Detonation

Verdicts

The intended purpose of "DoNotRewrite" is to give tenants the ability to skip the wrapping of URLs. With the deployment of the Tenant Allow Block List, it is expected that all tenant allows (ex Detonation and Verdicts) shall be managed there.

[When this will happen:]

In late April the entries on the Do Not Rewrite list will only skip Safe Links wrapping. After this change is made, entries on the Do Not Rewrite list will no longer skip Detonations or Verdicts in mailflow or at Time of Click.

In late April the following capabilities will be removed from the DNR list:

Skip Detonation

Skip Verdicts

MC544789 (Updated) Retirement of Dynamic Ordering feature in classic search experiences. Functional parity may be achieved by adding XRANK clauses directly to the query template in the Query Builder dialog.

This change does not affect the modern search experience, except for Site Scoped search queries which trigger Query Rules defined in the SharePoint Search Admin UI at the tenant level which added Dynamic Ordering rules.

As part of the evolution of the Microsoft 365 service, we periodically evaluate the capabilities of the service to make sure that we're delivering the utmost value to customers. As we continue to invest in Microsoft Search capabilities, we determined the "Dynamic Ordering" feature offered limited utility and after careful consideration we decided to deprecate its entry points.

This link, How to change the order in which classic search results are displayed in SharePoint Server, documents Dynamic Ordering and will be updated to reflect the change in behavior.
Functional parity may be achieved by adding XRANK clauses directly to the query template in the Query Builder dialog.
