Updated October 12, 2026: We have decided not to move forward with this change at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Introduction To improve reliability, compliance, and collaboration, we’re updating where Microsoft Whiteboard files created from a Teams Channel tab are stored. Previously, these whiteboards were saved in the OneDrive of the user who created them, which could lead to access issues due to sharing settings, Information Barriers, or Conditional Access policies. With this update, whiteboards created from Teams Channels will be stored in the associated SharePoint site for the channel, aligning Whiteboard with the storage behavior of other Microsoft 365 apps and ensuring consistent access for all channel members.

Updated October 2, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] We are enhancing how Microsoft Defender for Office 365 identifies and manages promotional email. Promotional messages will be tagged as “promotions” (previously “Bulk” in preview) and can be moved automatically to a new Promotions folder.
