6. M365 Update
• #4
• Updated Feature: Sharing behavior for non-Office resources
• Status: GA
• For files on OneDrive or SharePoint, recipients who have existing access to
Office file types currently receive a link to the file previewer on the web. The
links do not automatically download the file.
• We are now extending this behavior to all other file types. This behavior will
affect non-image file types first, such as PDFs. Images will begin to observe
the new behavior in May.
• Users that rely on links to download a file should view the details pane in the
OneDrive or SharePoint websites, click on More detail on the bottom, and
then use the Copy button next to the Path section.

7. M365 Update
• #5
• Updated Feature: Streamlining the recipient experience for links shared with “specific
people”
• Status: GA
• Users can choose to share documents in SharePoint or OneDrive with specific
people. The resulting link provides access only to those people they specify,
although other people may already have access. If someone forwards the
sharing invitation, only those who already have access to the item will be able to
use the link to access the document.
• After this update is available in your tenant, when users in your organization
receive a “specific people” link to files or folders on OneDrive or SharePoint they
will no longer be presented with a page directing them to click “Next” to sign in.

• Status: Preview
• First, a user creates the space and chooses
options such as structure, background, and
theme. Next, add web parts for 3D objects,
360° images and videos, and 2D images and
text. The resulting immersive 3D experience
can be viewed in a web browser or with a
mixed reality headset.

10. Teams Update
• #1
• Updated - New Feature: Tags in Microsoft Teams
• Status: GA
• Using tags, team owners can organize users
based on a common attribute, such as role,
project, skill, training, or location. After team
members have tags, the team owner or a
tagged team member can create a channel
post, @tagName, that notifies only the users
who have that tag (in this case @tagName).
Tags are team-based; you have to a be a
member of a team in order to use an
associated tag.
