    Table of ContentsToggleDiscussing the usage data that’s available for Microsoft 365 Copilot (in the Microsoft 365 admin center and via a Graph API), a colleague remarked that it would be much easier to leverage the usage data if it contained the department and job title for each user. The usage data available for any workload is sparse and needs to be enhanced to be more useful.

    Table of ContentsToggleFrom an engineering perspective, Microsoft’s decision to decommission the Search-MailboxAuditLog and New-MailboxAuditLogSearch cmdlets makes a ton of sense. Microsoft 365 apps consume shared services, and the unified audit service ingests the data used by these Exchange Online cmdlets.

    Table of ContentsToggleAt the Ignite 2024 conference, Microsoft announced that “Microsoft 365 Copilot will now include built-in content governance controls and insights provided by SharePoint Advanced Management.” At the time, and still broadly believed, the assumption was that Microsoft would provide customers with Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses with SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) licenses.

Exerting control over apps is essential for tenant security.

    Table of ContentsToggleOn May 1, Microsoft announced that the public preview of the DLP policy for Microsoft 365 Copilot is effective for the Office apps (MC1059677, 21 April 2025, Microsoft 365 roadmap item 423483). The new functionality is an extension of the DLP policy introduced in March 2025. At that time, the policy only covered Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (BizChat). Its extension to cover the Office apps (desktop and web) is logical, even if the implementation is different.

.@Office365 The Exchange Server OWA client is dropping support for access to online archives (hosted by #Microsoft365). A declining customer base and lack of revenues likely drive the decision. Outlook classic remains unaffected. https://t.co/9fr6Rxcq7X

.@Office365 MC1059677 reports that the DLP policy for Copilot will extend protection from just Copilot Chat (and agents) to the Office apps https://t.co/Ljdp7NhiKp. This is an expected but very nice enhancement. #Microsoft365

.@Office365 Anyone running a hybrid #Exchange organization should be aware of the steps Microsoft is taking to remove EWS and the impact the introduction of a dedicated Exchange hybrid app will have. There's work to be done... https://t.co/SF6jnNHaNl #Microsoft365
