Microsoft Viva: Viva Amplify - Support for dwell time and clicks graphs in Amplify reporting
This release will add two new graphs to Amplify reporting: dwell time and clicks. The dwell time graph will indicate the average time users spend reading a publication, giving important insight into the engagement of users with the Amplify campaign. The clicks graph will indicate the number of times a link in the publication was clicked by a reader, again giving important insight into the engagement level of users. Both of these metrics will be supported from SharePoint and Outlook channels.Feature ID: 421193

Outlook: Show shared folders and mailboxes as accounts in the New Outlook for Windows
To enhance your experience in Outlook, we’re introducing changes to how shared mailboxes and folders are displayed. Shared mailboxes and shared folders will now appear directly in your account list in the folder pane, alongside your primary account and other connected accounts. This improvement makes navigation more intuitive by treating shared resources as separate accounts, providing quick and organized access. As part of this update, we are removing the "Shared With" node from the folder pane. All shared resources will now be integrated directly into the accounts list for a cleaner and more consistent navigation experience. This update streamlines how shared resources are managed and accessed, helping you stay productive and focused. #newoutlookforwindowsFeature ID: 472923

Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Insider Risk Management - Downgrade/remove sensitivity label
This feature is an enhancement to the existing IRM Office Indicator. In the current version, only sensitivity label changes on the SharePoint Web app are captured in IRM. With the latest update, this indicator captures the sensitivity label changes (downgrade/ remove) when performed on OneDrive, AIP, and Endpoint (SharePoint file opened in Office app, or any sensitivity label change on the local files on your device). Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks such as IP theft, data leakage and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.Feature ID: 473431

Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Communication Compliance - Detect Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 interactions template
Communication Compliance is introducing a new template dedicated to analyzing all Copilot for Microsoft 365 prompts and response to help ensure content prohibited by customers’ policies, such as harassing or threatening language, is not being used in Copilot for Microsoft 365 interfaces. This scales Communication Compliance’s reach, consistent with Microsoft 365’s expanding interfaces. In addition, administrators are also able to select Copilot chats as a checked location in the policy creation wizard for any new or existing policies. This empowers administrators to fine-tune their management strategy precisely to their organization’s needs, with a focus on user privacy protection. Whether it's setting specific conditions or deploying trainable classifiers, this feature provides flexibility and adaptability in compliance management, ensuring your organization's communications remain secure, compliant, and respectful of user privacy.Feature ID: 422328

Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Insider Risk Management - IRM alerts in XDR
With this feature, IRM alerts and other supporting data will be available in the following Microsoft Defender XDR experiences: 1. IRM alerts will be surfaced in unified alert and Incident queue in Microsoft Defender XDR. 2. IRM alerts, Indicators, and enriched events will be available in Microsoft Defender XDR advanced hunting.

This is to enable effective correlation of IRM alerts with alerts from other solutions in Microsoft Defender XDR platform (such as Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Cloud apps, etc.). Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations.

Microsoft Purview compliance portal : Insider Risk Management – Real-time policy tuning analysis
Policy tuning analysis provides admins with a real-time prediction based on the number of users that could match a given set of policy conditions. It helps organizations efficiently adjust the selection of indicators and thresholds of activity occurrence, so they don’t have too few or too many alerts from a policy. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies to manage security and compliance. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.

Microsoft Teams: IC3 token authorization on Android-based Microsoft Teams devices
This roadmap item is removed as it is a duplication of functionality already delivered. We apologize for any confusion. All Android-based Microsoft Teams devices including Teams phone, non-touch phones, Teams displays, Teams panels, and Teams Rooms on Android, will use IC3 tokens instead of Skype tokens for modern, secure authorization. Admins can enable ‘Block Legacy Authorization’ to update their tokens when this feature is available.Feature ID: 467446
