Roadmap, security and documentation changes captured for Microsoft 365 app.
Copilot Notebooks in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app (iOS) now lets users organize related chats, output creations, and references into a persistent AI workspace. Copilot uses the Notebook's accumulated context to ground responses, so work continues across sessions instead of starting over each time.
The new Copilot Notebooks design in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app now lets users organize related chats, output creations, and references into a persistent AI workspace. Copilot uses the Notebook's accumulated context to ground responses, so work continues across sessions instead of starting over each time. While this is the quicker, light-weight Notebooks experience, you can still find the fuller, workspace-forward experience in OneNote.
Request feedback from Copilot on your Page by selecting "Suggested edits" in the Copilot Shortcuts menu. Copilot will analyze the content on your page and provide actionable suggestions about what you can change to improve clarity and quality of your written content. You can then apply suggestions directly to the page.
The Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app will proactively send push notifications for common productivity workflows like 'Your Day at a Glance' and 'Items waiting for you', which send users to the respective Copilot response when opened. This feature taps into your Copilot Memory and will be available for users with Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses and can also be accessed once opening the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
Multiple MAM (Mobile Application Management) Intune Accounts will now be supported in Outlook for iOS. Only one MDM (mobile device management) account will be supported at a time per device.
We are introducing a refreshed chat-first design in the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app, bringing a cleaner, more intuitive interface to users. This update includes a modernized design language, streamlined navigation, and other improvements that make it easier and faster for users to start, continue, and manage chats on the mobile app.
Create an interactive report, visualization, or dashboard using Copilot Pages. Copilot uses web data and the latest LLM models and can also ground responses in your Work data.
Copilot Notebooks enables users to generate PowerPoint presentations directly from the content and references collected in a notebook. Using the notebook’s curated context, Copilot creates a structured, editable slide deck that users can open and refine in PowerPoint, helping turn research, notes, and insights into shareable presentations more quickly.
Copilot Notebooks allows users to generate Word documents using the content and references gathered in a notebook. Copilot drafts a structured document grounded in the notebook’s context, which can be opened and edited in Word, helping users move from ideas and source material to a ready‑to‑use document with fewer manual steps.
New improvements are coming to the rollout wave functionality for Cloud Update. These enhancements will allow organizations to continue leveraging Microsoft Entra ID groups to set up rollout waves, with increased flexibility to configure more than the current limit of three waves. Additionally, admins will be able to assign custom delays between each wave, streamlining phased deployments and offering greater control over update distribution.
Use device selection criteria in Cloud Update to assign profiles using Microsoft Entra ID groups and streamline the onboarding process. Admins can combine channel and profile assignment in a single step, making it easier to move devices between update channels and maintain consistent update management across the organization.
Use enhanced error reporting in Cloud Update for Microsoft 365 Apps updates to access clear, descriptive error messages that help you easily identify why an update did not complete successfully. Admins can review comprehensive insights across all Cloud Update-managed devices and drill down into individual devices for detailed information. This improved feature expands on the existing upgrade progress insights by grouping issues according to error codes and providing straightforward descriptions. These advancements enable admins to diagnose problems more efficiently, reduce support escalations, and take decisive corrective actions to boost monthly compliance rates.
Once a Copilot Chat user has finished researching, creating, and collecting content in Copilot Pages, they can take it to a SharePoint News Post with the press of 'SharePoint' button under 'Create'.
This update introduces a co-branding experience in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app that helps organizations present an admin approved visual identifier directly within the Chat screen. Specifically, the experience enables administrators to leverage the organization-supported logo already managed in the Microsoft Admin Center theming settings and display it in the footer of the Chat screen, paired with a fixed label: “Approved by”.
We are enhancing the room booking experience in the new calendar experience across Outlook for Windows, Outlook for the web, and Teams by introducing a map view within Places Finder. This update replaces the existing side panel with a full screen, easier to use interface that helps people quickly find and book the right space.
Buildings, rooms and desks that are added to the Places directory will have new profile cards, accessible from Copilot Chat and across other Microsoft 365 entry points.

Loop workspaces and the full Loop app experience are available to Microsoft 365 GCC customers at loop.cloud.microsoft. Updated June 16, 2026: We have decided not to move forward with this change at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Loop Ideas workspaces are tenant-managed like SharePoint Communication sites. They appear with existing Loop workspaces, with all features such as adding members and organizing pages
The Loop app now provides a personal workspace to all users, which is shared with Copilot Pages. This personal workspace is a user-owned SharePoint Embedded container, one per user. All governance, lifecycle management and compliance processes apply the same way they would to a user's OneDrive.
Ensure via optional IT admin policy that new shared Loop workspaces are connected to and managed by an existing Teams enabled Microsoft 365 Group.
Manage retention and deletion workflows for user-owned Loop workspaces like Copilot Pages when users leave the organization. Notify and provide temporary access to other employees or administrators to save important data before deletion policies take effect.
In response to feedback from you, our customers, we are adding support for even more formatting options when composing in Outlook for iOS or Android! You will be able to choose font size, set a default font, as well as clearing and painting formatting.
This ensures data storage for shared Loop workspaces is in the correct geo. M365 group-owned workspaces are created in the group's geo, while non-M365 group-owned workspaces are created in the creator's preferred data location.
Catch Up allows you to stay in sync with your collaborators in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint by showing you the latest comment activity that is directed at you and a summary of recent changes. Based on your feedback, we made improvements to the Catch Up feature. The comment activity directed at you will now persist in Catch Up between sessions for up to 28 days. New items will be indicated with a blue dot for clarity. You can also dismiss items individually if you do not wish to keep them in Catch Up.
