End users will see the new URL when they navigate to OneDrive web and when they browse to a pivot (e.g. Home, My Files, Favorite, etc.). The end user will no longer see the “personal/alias/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx” information in the URL when they open a folder within OneDrive or navigate to a Team or Site in the Quick Access list. There will be no change to the URL when they open a file. No existing scenarios will be impacted by this change. Attempts to access the previous URL (tenant-my.sharepoint.com/personal/alias/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx?view=1) will be redirected to the new URL. All sharing links, bookmarks, and custom redirectors (e.g., typing tenant.onedrive.com to go to OneDrive Web) will remain functional. Browsing content within another user's OneDrive will also continue to work and will display the old URL format. There will be no changes to SharePoint Web URLs." |

| MC686277 | (Updated) Offline mode in OneDrive for Web | Updated May 1, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Soon, on Windows and macOS devices running the OneDrive sync app, we will enable a new feature called “Offline mode” that will allow you to continue working with the OneDrive web app in your browser, OneDrive PWA (Progressive Web App) or Microsoft Teams even when you are offline. This feature will be on by default and will give your users the ability to view, rename, move, copy their files, and create new folders when offline. Users will be able to open their files that are available offline on users’ device in a native app directly from inside OneDrive on the web. All of the metadata changes users make offline to their files in the browser will be automatically synced back to OneDrive when Internet connection is restored, and users can resolve conflicts, if there are any. As an administrator, you’ll be able to control various aspects of Offline mode using the Group Policies outlined in here. When this feature becomes enabled for users in your organization and the user then visits OneDrive for web, Offline mode will be set up for the first time. A copy of user’s file metadata that powers OneDrive for web is securely stored locally on user’s device. These data on user’s device are only available and accessible by that user. If someone else were to sign in on your device, these local data on the device wouldn't be available to them. A secure local web server on user’s device will handle the operations that users perform on their files in OneDrive for web, such as viewing, sorting, renaming, moving, and copying where traditionally these operations would need to be handled by the OneDrive cloud service. This allows to eliminate network as the bottleneck when loading and working with OneDrive for web resulting in fast and smooth interactions with users’ files like loading your files and folders, sorting, renaming, moving, renaming, and more. And all of these operations will continue to work even when users are offline, lose internet connection, or run into a service disruption. OneDrive Offline mode lets you work on OneDrive when offline in the browser, OneDrive PWA (Progressive Web App) and in Microsoft Teams, improves performance on all kinds of networks, and helps alleviate throttling related to working with large file collections. Offline mode will be on by default for user’s OneDrive on the web and both users and administrators will have the option to disable Offline mode for their OneDrive. Offline mode is a per-device setting (configured separately for every device users use to access OneDrive on the web. The data is securely stored in a local database under the user’s profile directory and requests are handled through a secure localhost HTTP server. Offline mode is powered by a separate background process (Microsoft.SharePoint.exe). When Offline mode is on, users will see a new icon in the top navigation bar in OneDrive on the web.

| MC688930 | (Updated) Teams admin center: App centric management and changes to app permission policies | Updated April 12, 2024: We are excited to announce that Phase 2 of app centric management roll out is scheduled to begin in May 2024. This phase will be available to all tenants and can be initiated at the admin’s discretion. What is in phase 2? Migration wizard: a step-by-step guide to help you migrate the permission policies. You will be able to select which polities to migrate and designate users groups or individuals who should have access to the apps. Testing and Validation: before finalizing the migration, you will have the opportunity to test and export your staged changes. You can use this to make side-by-side comparison with your current setup, ensuring everything is perfect before you proceed. Duration: The migration process is designed to have no downtime for the end users and can take a few hours to complete. During the migration, your existing permission policies will remain in effect until the transition to app centric management completes. Detailed documentation for the migration process will be available in our online documentation, which currently includes information on managing apps after ACM migration. App centric management introduces new admin settings to control who in the tenant can install Teams apps. First, admins can set a default value for new apps that are published to the Teams app store. Second, admins can manage apps for users, groups, or everyone in the organization. This feature replaces the existing app permission policies and provides admins with the ability to manage access to the app individually. The app permission policies for existing customers are migrated to maintain existing app availability in the tenant. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 151829 |

Updated June 6, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Coming soon in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams: We are introducing a new meeting response option called Follow that allows people invited to a meeting to let the organizer know they can't attend but would like to stay informed. Follow goes beyond the traditional Accept, Tentative, and Decline responses. Follow is for busy individuals with high meeting loads and conflicting meetings. Follow is the ideal meeting response option when you can't attend a meeting but still want to stay engaged and have access to post-meeting information in Teams. Meeting attendees can respond with Follow in the new Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the Web. Follow is not available on Outlook for Mac or Outlook Mobile at this time. Additional Follow features in Teams for meeting organizers are shown in the screenshots in this message. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 154557.
