It's a new year, so I thought I'd start the year by mentioning three features already released, or soon going to be released. One of the features improves the workflow of sharing files with comments, the other improves the application specific Copilot, and the last feature makes it easer to find the nest available timeslot for a 1:1 meeting.

The roll-out of this feature started at the end of May, and should soon be available to tenants according to a post in the Admin message message center.
