365 Message Center Show

When you share a document from OneDrive, expect to see a simplified user experience with fewer choices to make. The Sharing window will let you enter an email address or group name to share a file with, set if it's view only or edit, add a message. But the significant change is the scope of the sharing has shifted to the bottom of the window and if you want to change it, it is via the Settings cog. Is this simplified or is it minimising important information and choices? 
Viva Connections on mobile will start notifying you when news is published to your followed and frequent sites. .  

Microsoft Teams will work with the new Outlook "Work hours and location" setting and allow you to change it from your online status settings. 
Daniel and Darrell dive deeper in discussion that informs your decision-making and delivery of services to your organisations.

Let your team members know when you intend to work remotely or in the office. Outlook's new Work Hours and Location feature uses your Outlook work hours settings and your calendar. Set the days and hours you work, and whether you will work remotely or from home. If you need to change it during the week, adjust it in your calendar at the top of a day where All Day events are displayed. Copilot's Semantic Index was announced as the mapping technology powering Copilot's relevant and actionable responses. But it will also enhance enterprise search results for E3 and E5 customers.
