Currently, when you share a link with view-only permissions in Microsoft 365 apps, clicking on Copy link defaults to an "Only people with existing access" link that does not always target your intended people. With this new feature, when you share a link with view-only permissions with other people, those people will now be able to copy that same link directly from the Share dialog when they attempt to share. If your only option to share with others is Only people with existing access, you will be able to send a request to the owner to share this file with specific people directly in the sharing control. The owner of the file will then receive a request and will be able to approve or reject the request. |
Updated October 10, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Currently, when you share a link with view-only permissions in Microsoft 365 apps, clicking on Copy link defaults to an "Only people with existing access" link that does not always target your intended people. With this new feature, when you share a link with view-only permissions with other people, those people will now be able to copy that same link directly from the Share dialog when they attempt to share. If your only option to share with others is Only people with existing access, you will be able to send a request to the owner to share this file with specific people directly in the sharing control. The owner of the file will then receive a request and will be able to approve or reject the request. |

MC871011 | (Updated) Microsoft Outlook for the web: Third-party cookie block causes users to sign in again on Chrome and Edge | As communicated in MC711020 Outlook: Outlook for web - new application ID (January 2024), Microsoft Outlook for the web is undergoing an authentication platform migration to a public client authentication model using MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library). The change to client-side authentication will be subject to Google's third-party cookie block that may be active in Chrome and Edge. Google's third-party cookie block impacts navigation to Microsoft Entra ID to perform silent single sign-on (SSO). To overcome this block, Outlook for the web will present a banner for the user to refresh their session. This will enable navigation to Entra ID to refresh their token. SSO-enabled Windows devices are expected to silently sign in users with SSO without requiring further interaction and will not display the banner. This issue affects Outlook for web users. It will not affect users of new Outlook for Windows, Outlook (classic), Outlook for Mac, Outlook Mobile for iOS and Outlook Mobile for Android. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expect to complete by late December 2024.

MC835648 | (Updated) Announcing IPv6 Enablement for Accepted Domains | To take advantage of IPv6 connectivity, please make sure that you and your partner's update network allow-lists to allow Exchange Online IPv6 endpoints in the same way it allow-lists IPv4. The Exchange Online IPv6 endpoints can be found here: Microsoft 365 URLs and IP address ranges. To opt a domain out of inbound IPv6 so traffic flowing to the domain remains IPv4-only, please use Disable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain -Domain for each domain you want to opt out of IPv6 (Disable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn). IPv6 enablement may impact the source IP type used by Senders when connecting to Exchange Online, as the source and destination IP versions must match. For any IP Address-based Inbound connectors in Exchange Online that are referencing IPv4 addresses, you need to either: Keep the sending server as IPv4. Coordinate with the Sender so the Sender keeps connecting to your domain(s) via IPv4 or Opt your domain(s) out of IPv6 Change the IP based connector to certificate domain based connector. This applies to both OnPremises type (From: Your organization's email server, To: Office 365) and Partner Type connectors (From: Partner organization, To: Office 365). Update: If you are using any Exchange Transport Rules or Data Loss Prevention policies which rely on the SenderIPRanges predicate, you need to opt out all your domains from IPv6. You can manage IPv6 for your Exchange Online Accepted Domains using the commands Enable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain or Disable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain. Currently, you can check the status of your Accepted Domains with the Get-IPv6StatusForAcceptedDomain command. While some customers have already enabled IPv6, most will see it as disabled until October 16th. After October 16, once IPv6 is enabled for your tenant, if you haven't explicitly set the IPv6 status for your Accepted Domains, the Get-IPv6StatusForAcceptedDomain command will reflect the new default behavior (enabled). IMPORTANT: To ensure your preferred settings are applied, please use the Enable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain or Disable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain commands before October 16th, after which IPv6 will be enabled by default if you haven't explicitly set it. https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/ipv6-support?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/exchange/disable-ipv6foraccepteddomain?view=exchange-ps |

The IPv6 rollout will not affect DNSSEC-enabled domains until after Nov 18th. https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/ipv6-support?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/exchange/disable-ipv6foraccepteddomain?view=exchange-ps |
