explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Purview is making some small design updates to its Message Encryption portal. Think of it like a restaurant that decides to update its decor. The tables and chairs remain in the same place, but the colors on the walls, the style of the menus, and the lighting might change to give a fresh look that aligns with the restaurant's brand. Similarly, the portal will have new fonts, colors, and controls to match the Purview branding.
These changes are planned to start in mid-October 2024 and finish by mid-December 2024. Just like how a restaurant might update its training materials to reflect the new decor, organizations using the portal might need to update their training and documentation to reflect these design changes. However, the URL of the portal will stay the same, so there's no need to worry about updating bookmarks or links.
Users will notice some minor adjustments in the user interface, such as the removal of the bottom button bar, the relocation of the emoji button to the formatting bar, and the toggle formatting option button moving to the top bar. Additionally, the insert table control will now allow users to enter the size directly. These updates are intended to improve the user experience without causing any disruption, much like how a restaurant might rearrange its layout to make it more comfortable for diners.
Overall, these updates are about keeping the portal visually consistent with the rest of the Purview brand, much like ensuring that all branches of a restaurant chain have a similar look and feel.

If your organizational websites, tools, or other materials reference the old URL outlook.office365.com/Encryption, those links will be automatically redirected. It would be good practice to update those assets and any documentation with screenshots to avoid user confusion. Admins should ensure that connections to *.static.microsoft are not blocked from their clients and enterprise networks. This recommendation should require no action if you are following standard Microsoft network guidance on domains and service endpoints https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/cloud-microsoft-domain?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges https://messageencryption.purview.static.microsoft/ https://support.microsoft.com/office/what-is-cloud-microsoft-7ba4c8b9-d062-4444-84a5-fca6c3006d2b https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/introducing-cloud-microsoft-a-unified-domain-for-microsoft-365/ba-p/3804961 | You may consider updating training and documentation as appropriate.
---Summary of original message--- The Microsoft Purview Message Encryption portal provides access to encrypted messages sent from your organization's users to external recipients. The cloud.microsoft domain was provisioned in early 2023 to provide a unified, trusted, and dedicated DNS domain space to host Microsoft's first-party authenticated SaaS products and experiences. With this rollout, selected Microsoft products and scenarios will transition to a similar static.microsoft domain, in parallel with the previous domains. As part of this transition, the design of the portal (fonts, colors, controls, and more) will be adjusted to align with Purview branding and domain change. |

| 2024-09-17 | MC Title | Microsoft Purview: Message Encryption portal transitioning to the ".microsoft" domain by the end of 2024 | (Updated) Microsoft Purview: Minor encrypted message portal design updates, URL to remain the same |
| 2024-09-17 | MC How Affect | Users that receive encrypted messages that have a link to open the mail in the encrypted message portal will be redirected to applications under static.microsoft domains gradually and automatically. No specific user action is required. Links to the previous domains are backwards compatible and will continue to be supported. Users may notice that the new application domains are lacking the .com extension, which is by design, because .microsoft is Microsoft's own top-level domain. This exclusivity allows for additional security and protection against spoofing.
This change is on by default. | Users will see minor design changes within the UI. |
