Microsoft has announced Microsoft 365 E7, its newest premium bundle for the AI-driven enterprise. It combines Microsoft 365 E5, Copilot, Entra Suite, and Microsoft Agent 365 into a single offering. The suite is priced at $99 per user/month and will be generally available starting May 1, 2026.
Microsoft 365 Backup has extended its support to restore individual files and folders in SharePoint and OneDrive, which is currently available in public preview. With this update, admins can easily browse, search, and recover specific files or folders directly from restore points, eliminating the need to restore an entire site or drive.
Microsoft is retiring One-Time Passcode (SPO OTP) authentication and transitioning to Entra B2B guest accounts for external users. This ensures that SharePoint and OneDrive external collaboration is governed by the same security and compliance standards as internal access. SPO OTP method will be fully retired by August 31, 2026, following rollout beginning in May 2026.
Microsoft now allows admins to enforce a default expiration period for “People in your organization” sharing links in SharePoint Online and OneDrive. By configuring maximum and recommended expiration values, admins can prevent internal links from staying active indefinitely. This update helps reduce stale access while maintaining flexible and secure collaboration.
