| MC432475 | (Updated) Quick Access Teams and Sharepoint Document Libraries in win32 backstage | Updated July 5, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Currently, users experience some frustration when using Office products because of all different routes that they must use to access all their content. The Quick Access feature will allow users to access shared libraries from both their SharePoint and Teams locations. When the user opens files from shared libraries, these libraries will show up in the form of a list which will encourage users to save and open files to these libraries with ease. This helps deliver a more consistent, coherent storage location experience across M365 apps. This new backstage experience won’t show up in Teams, SharePoint, or OneDrive but does include storage locations from OneDrive and Teams (sites/channels) which are stored on SharePoint. [When this will happen:] Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out late June (previously late April) and expect to complete by late July (previously late May). Standard Release: We will begin rolling out mid-July (previously late June) and expect to complete by mid-August (previously late July). |

| MC542827 | (Updated) Visio Organizational Trial offering | Updated June 20, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Beginning in May, we are enhancing our trial offering for Visio (MC306669, December 2021) by allowing users to sign up for a trial license, or request for a paid license with their AAD account. This update gives admins oversight and control over self-service trials and license requests. It also removes the need for users to input payment information when initiating a Visio trial. Previously, self-service trials required a user to input payment information, requiring admins to take additional steps to manage billing and licensing. With this new enhancement, users will be able to start a trial without payment information or submit a request for a license directly in-product. Once a request is submitted by a user, admins will see a notification on the Microsoft 365 admin center’s home page. [When this will happen:] These capabilities will be rolled out starting mid-July (previously late May) and expected to complete by early August (previously late June). |
