| MC283912 | (Updated) Yammer Public Links API Changes | On December 1, 2021, the following API calls will be affected by this change: GET api/v1/open_graph_objects?url=https:// If you are using GET api/v1/open_graph_objects?url=https:// - then currently this returns one single OGO id. Once this change is released it will return a list of OGO ids as now each time a link or URL is added to a message it generates a new OGO id. GET /messages/open_group_objects/[:id].json If you are using GET /messages/open_group_objects/[:id].json - then after the change you can use any of the OGO ids associated with a URL and this API will return a feed of messages that the user has access to relating to that link. POST /message.json If you are using POST /message.json - and the og_url is a SharePoint URL, you will need to call this API using an AAD token. Instructions to obtain an AAD token can be found here. Additionally, if using a SharePoint URL do not pass a thumbnail image URL to og_image as Yammer fetches the thumbnail associated with the SharePoint URL. |
Phase 1 (November 1st, 2021) - No breaking change to GET api/v1/open_graph_objects?url=https:// After November 1st, we will add a list consisting of a single OGO (which is the same OGO currently being returned by the API) to the response of GET api/v1/open_graph_objects?url=https:// - this is unlikely to affect your usage of this API, but we still recommending checking how you are consuming the API before the change happens. Here is an example of what the response of the API will look like: { "id": 12345, ..., "ogos": [{ "id": 12345, .... }] } Phase 2 (February 1st, 2022) – No breaking change to GET api/v1/open_graph_objects?url=https:// Then on February 1st, 2022, all public Open Graph Objects (OGOs) will be associated with only the message it is attached to. These links, and the messages associated with them, are only visible to users who have access to the conversations the Open Graph Objects were a part of. If you are using GET /messages/open_group_objects/[:id].json - then after the change you can use any of the OGO ids associated with a URL and this API will return a feed of messages that the user has access to relating to that link. |

| MC288051 | (Updated) Upcoming Changes to Auto-Expanding Archive | Once this limit takes effect, your users will not be able to extend their online archives beyond 1.5TB. As currently noted in our documentation, auto-expanding archive is only supported for mailboxes used for individual users or shared mailboxes with a growth rate that does not exceed 1 GB per day. Using journaling, transport rules, or auto-forwarding rules to copy messages to Exchange Online Archiving for the purposes of archiving is not permitted. A user's archive mailbox is intended for just that user. Microsoft reserves the right to deny unlimited archiving in instances where a user's archive mailbox is used to store archive data for other users or in other cases of inappropriate use. If you have previously worked with Microsoft Support to provide exceptions for existing archives exceeding 1.5TB, those specific archives will not be affected by this change. You will not, however, be able to create any new archives that exceed 1.5TB. |

| MC286990 | (Updated) Exchange Online and Basic Auth – September 2021 Update | We're making some changes to improve the security of your tenant. We announced in 2019 we would be retiring Basic Authentication for legacy protocols, and in early 2021 we announced we would begin to retire Basic Authentication for protocols not being used in tenants, but not disable Basic Authentication for any in-use protocols until further notice. Today, we are announcing that we are restarting the program to end the use of Basic Auth in Exchange Online. Beginning October 1, 2022, we will begin to disable Basic Auth in all tenants, regardless of usage. We previously communicated this change via several Message Center posts: MC191153 (Sept. ‘19), MC204828 (Feb. ‘20), MC208814 (April ‘20) and MC237741 (Feb. ‘21) and you can always read the latest information about our plans to turn off Basic Authentication here. Beginning early 2022, as we roll out the changes necessary to support this effort, we are also going to begin disabling Basic Auth for some customers on a short-term and temporary basis. We will randomly select tenants and disable Basic Auth for all protocols for a period of 12-48 hours. After this time, these protocols will be re-enabled, if the tenant admin has not already re-enabled them using our self-service tools. During this time all clients and apps that use Basic Auth in that tenant will be affected, and they will be unable to connect. Any client or app using Modern Auth will not be affected. Users can use alternate clients (for example, Outlook on the Web instead of an older Outlook client that does not support Modern Auth) while they upgrade or reconfigure their client apps. |

| MC265759 | (Updated) Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Extending Secure by Default for Exchange Transport Rules (ETRs) | Updated August 24, 2021: We have updated the content for additional clarity. Thank you for your feedback. Microsoft believes it’s critical to keep our customers secure by default. We have determined that legacy overrides tend to be too broad and cause more harm than good. As a security service, we believe it's imperative that we act on your behalf to prevent your users from being compromised. This means these legacy overrides will no longer be honored for email messages we believe are malicious. We already apply this approach with malware messages and now we have extended it to messages with high confidence phish verdicts. We have been taking a very deliberate approach to rolling out these changes in phases to ensure customers are not surprised and there are no negative side effects. We began to rollout Secure by Default for high confidence phishing messages by the override type starting in December 2020 (Roadmap ID 60827). Today, we’re at a point in our Secure by Default journey where the following overrides are not honored for malicious emails (malware or high confidence phish emails): Allowed sender lists or allowed domain lists (anti-spam policies) |

While in Targeted Release we received valuable feedback around the behavior of anchor links when used in collapsible sections as well as some formatting issues experienced by users of right-to-left languages. We feel that both of these issues are important for us to address prior to making the feature generally available. We are actively addressing these issues now and expect the solution to reach General Availability with all fixes in place by the end of September 2021. Thank you for your patience. This new feature will allow users to create rich, information-dense SharePoint pages. As part of this release, we will enable the page author to configure sections within the SharePoint page to be able to expand, collapse and set the default page-load state for the section. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 67147. [When this will happen:] We will begin rolling out to Targeted release (select users and organization) in early July (complete) and expect to be complete for Standard release in late September (previously late July). |

We held the solution at the Targeted Release phase while we addressed some issues that were reported with the solution.

This option enables users to stream content from directly from physical artefacts such as whiteboards and documents in a legible way. During a Teams call, users will be able to access the projection options simply by clicking Share > Content from camera. Two key projection options: Whiteboard mode: Users can point their laptop webcam to their whiteboard to project it to their audience. If the camera detects a whiteboard in view, it is straightened, zoomed in and the presenter's hand or body does not block the content as she writes on it. Document mode: Users can attach an external USB camera, such as a document camera, mounted over a document, to project to their audience.
