explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you have an old car that you've been driving for years. It's been reliable, but the manufacturer has decided they will no longer make parts for it after a certain date. You can still drive the car, but if something breaks, you'll have to find your own way to fix it because the official support is no longer there. This is similar to what's happening with the SSRS Report Viewer SharePoint Webpart.
Microsoft has announced that support for this particular feature will end on April 13, 2026. This means that while you can continue to use the Webpart, it won't receive any updates or help from Microsoft after that date. Think of it like using an old car that still runs but doesn't get any new features or official repairs.
The recommended approach is to start using a new method to display your reports in SharePoint. Instead of relying on the old Webpart, you can embed SSRS reports using URL parameters. This is like switching to a newer model of car that uses more modern technology. It might take a little time to get used to, but it offers better integration and reliability.
No immediate action is required, so you can plan this transition at your own pace. It's a good idea to start familiarizing yourself with the new method to ensure a smooth changeover before the support ends. There are resources available to help you understand how to use URL parameters for embedding reports, much like how you might read a manual or guide when learning to drive a new car.
In terms of compliance, there are no new issues identified with this change, but it's always wise to review any updates in the context of your organization's policies. This transition is part of a broader effort to streamline and modernize how reports are integrated into SharePoint, much like how car manufacturers continually update their models to include the latest technology and safety features.
