New Features and Improvements

General Availability Date for the Commercial Environment: June 7, 2026

General Availability Date for the U.S. Government Environment: June 14, 2026

What's New in the Modern Cloud Governance Admin Center?

  • The following dynamic service updates are available in Management > Dynamic services:

    • The Create Confide project service now supports the Storage limits and User count limitation settings, allowing you to set limits on storage and user count for new Confide projects created through a service request.

    • The Create on-premises shared mailbox service now supports the Shared mailbox provisioning method setting, allowing you to choose how new shared mailboxes are provisioned in a hybrid Exchange environment. You can choose to provision new shared mailboxes in the on-premises Exchange environment first and then synchronize and migrate them to Exchange Online, or provision new shared mailboxes directly in Exchange Online after directory synchronization.

    • In the Create team service, you can now allow team owners to delete sent messages using the Team member permissions setting. In the Change team settings service, business users can also update this option through service requests when Change team member permissions is enabled.

    • In the Create library service, the Create structured folders action now supports defining folder and subfolder structures with specific permissions.

    • Retrieve from object property is now available in Use Controls > Use Custom Conditions allowing parameters to be retrieved from object properties configured in the service template.

    • The built-in action Library record declaration settings is no longer available in the Create library and Change library settings dynamic services because Microsoft has deprecated in-place records management.

    • Hybrid distribution group containers are now available to be selected as the service scope in the Change ownership or membership service.

  • The following profile updates are available in Management > Profiles & templates:

    • The following Copilot Studio agent profiles have been renamed to AI agent profiles to support a broader range of agent types, including Copilot Studio agents, SharePoint agents, modern Microsoft Foundry agents, and Microsoft 365 agents:

      • Automated escalation profile for Copilot Studio agent is now Automated escalation profile for AI agent.

      • Copilot Studio agent contact election profile is now AI agent contact election profile.

      • Copilot Studio agent renewal profile is now AI agent renewal profile.

    • Power Automate flow renewal profiles now support desktop flows in addition to cloud flows. You can enable renewal task assignees to review and modify desktop flow users in the renewal process when configuring the renewal profiles.

    • When an inactivity threshold task is triggered, renewal tasks in the following statuses are automatically canceled: Renewal pending, Renewal overdue, and Renewal completed with exception. This helps business users identify inactivity tasks by their distinct task titles.

    • Approval processes that use $Requester as the completion email recipient can now be selected in the approval process fields of renewal profiles.

    • The Allow new mail contacts option is now available in People picker filter profiles, allowing business users to add external email addresses as mail contacts in the request form.

    • Dynamic metadata profiles now support:

      • Custom conditions and Notes to business users in metadata flows, enabling published web API execution and custom requester messages.

      • Endpoints in condition or switch flows.

  • The Cloud Governance API is now supported for the following dynamic services, enabling integration with external systems for seamless automation: Change Microsoft 365 Group settings, Change site collection profiles, Change Viva Engage community settings, and Viva Engage community lifecycle management.

    Additionally, the APIs to get and set contacts for Power Platform objects are now supported.

  • IT administrators can now add contacts to mail-enabled security groups, hybrid security groups, and hybrid distribution groups when the users have been scanned into the AOS container.

What's New in the End User Portal?

  • In renewal processes for site collections, teams, Microsoft 365 Groups, and communities, the SharePoint permissions renewal step now clearly distinguishes group types, including security groups, mail-enabled security groups, Microsoft 365 Groups, and default and custom SharePoint groups.
