We’re improving the quarantine experience in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to deliver greater clarity, visibility, and ease of use for administrators. These updates include backend enhancements for improved durability and consistency as well as experience updates to list messages in quarantine by individual recipients to simplify navigation and management.

• General Availability (Worldwide and GCC): We will begin rolling out in early November 2025 and expect to complete by mid-December 2025.
• General Availability (GCCH and DoD): We will begin rolling out in early December 2025 and expect to complete by early January 2026.

• Who is affected: Administrators managing quarantined messages in Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
• What will happen:
  • Quarantined messages will now be listed by individual recipient instead of grouped by multiple recipients.
  • Backend enhancements will improve durability and consistency.
  • Existing quarantine release cmdlets will all remain functional. Administrators should be cognizant that `ReleaseToAll` now applies to a single user as aggregation has been removed. Admins must release messages for each intended mailbox individually.
  • No changes to end-user experience.

Agents and bots in Microsoft Teams group chats will now be able to authenticate through Entra. When an app requests a user’s Entra token in a group chat, if that user does not have the Teams app installed and/or has not granted Entra consent, they are sent a targeted message. This targeted message is only visible to that user and serves two purposes: to prompt the user to install the Teams app and to open the Entra permission consent dialog. Once both requirements are met, the app can leverage Entra for the requested permissions (such as Graph).

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 503557.

• General Availability (Worldwide): Begins November 3, 2025, and completes by November 6, 2025
• General Availability (GCC): Begins and completes November 6, 2025.

• Who is affected: All Microsoft Teams users interacting with bots or agents in group chats.
• What will happen:
  • Agents and bots will be able to request Entra permissions in group chats.
  • Previously, this was only supported in one-on-one chats (personal scope).
  • No changes to how Entra consent is captured.
  • The app can now surface an authentication entry point in the group chat UI: 





• Feature is enabled by default; no admin action required to turn it on.

• No action is required to enable this feature.
• If bots or agents continue to send errors related to Entra authentication in group chats after rollout, notify the application developer.
• Some apps may need to update their logic to use the authentication API in group chats as they do in personal scope.

[Introduction]

To streamline the user experience and reduce redundancy, we are retiring the Refresh all on page button from the Meeting Details pane in OneNote for Windows. Users will still be able to insert updated meeting information by selecting the meeting again from the right pane. This change aligns with our efforts to simplify the interface and reduce confusion around meeting updates.

[When this will happen:]

We will begin retiring the Refresh all on page button starting November 15, 2025, and expect to complete the rollout by December 15, 2025.

[How this affects your organization:]

• Who is affected: Users of OneNote for Windows who utilize the Meeting Details pane.
• What will happen:
  • The Refresh all on page button in the Meeting Details pane will be removed.
  • Users will no longer be able to refresh meeting details using this button.
  • To insert updated meeting information, users can click the meeting again in the right pane.
  • This change will roll out gradually to Insiders and Production customers starting mid-November 2025.
  • The change will happen automatically; no admin action is required.

[What you can do to prepare:]

• Notify your users about the upcoming change and the new method for updating meeting details.
• Update internal documentation or training materials that reference the Refresh all on page button.
• Share this workaround with users:
  To update meeting details, click the meeting again in the right pane to insert the latest information.
