External Sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive is changing: What You Need to Know

In an ongoing effort to create a more secure environment by default, Microsoft is introducing an important security update that will affect how external users access content shared through SharePoint and OneDrive. Starting July 1, 2025, any links shared with external users before your organization enabled Microsoft Entra B2B integration will no longer work.

74-322 passed

Try reading some of the TechNet library docs on the subject, and go through some of the nexthop posts on the subjects.
