Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Microsoft is introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat within Microsoft Forms, along with a new Forms Agent integration tailored to help creators design, distribute, and analyze forms more effectively.

Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] We are introducing a new priority cleanup workflow in Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management that allows administrators to permanently delete (hard delete) specific OneDrive and SharePoint content types, even when retention policies or holds are in place. This capability helps reduce data exposure risk from rapidly growing Copilot-related content while maintaining compliance through required eDiscovery admin review and approval. This change is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558343. [When this will happen:] Public Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-July 2026 and expect to complete by late July 2026. General Availability (Worldwide) Rollout begins early September 2026 (previously late May) and is expected to complete by mid-September 2026 (previously mid-June).

| (Updated) Microsoft Teams: AI meeting recap without transcript to meet compliance policiesCategory:Microsoft Teams Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365)Nummer:MC1275312Status:planForChange | Updated June 10, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Recap without saving transcript provides an alternative now for Copilot users to generate a meeting summary using live meeting context, in case where saving a meeting transcript or recording is not preferred or allowed. This capability is intended for scenarios where organizations want AI‑generated recaps but have policies that limit or prohibit the retention of transcripts or recordings. When disabled, no AI recap is generated. Existing Copilot licensing and tenant‑level AI controls continue to apply. This feature will be available to users with an M365 Copilot (Premium) license across platforms, including desktop (Windows and Mac), web, and mobile.

| (Updated) Microsoft Purview | Data Lifecycle Management – Archive OneDrive and SharePoint files under retentionCategory:Microsoft PurviewNummer:MC1325441Status:stayInformed | Updated June 10, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [What and Why] Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management is introducing the ability to archive OneDrive and SharePoint files based on retention policies. This feature helps organizations reduce storage costs by moving inactive content to Microsoft 365 Archive while maintaining compliance and discoverability. By excluding archived content from Copilot indexing, organizations can also improve the relevance and quality of Copilot responses, ensuring users focus on current, active data. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 561208. [Rollout Schedule] Public Preview: We will begin rolling out early June 2026 and expect to complete by late June 2026.

This update provides administrators with more granular control over how and when new organizational attributes are shared.

Previously, audit records primarily surfaced sensitive information type (SIT) matches. With this update, audit records now include all contributing rule conditions, including non-SIT conditions such as sender and recipient attributes, attachment properties, subject keywords, and message metadata. This change aligns with Microsoft’s enterprise-ready security and compliance commitments. It provides clearer insight into why a DLP rule was triggered without requiring manual cross-referencing of policy configurations and audit logs. This message is associated with Roadmap ID 562051.
