Microsoft has announced Copilot enhancements across Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint that improve scheduling, document creation, and presentation building. Here is a summary of some of the features I think can come in handy. Be aware that timelines may change as deployments progress, some of these have already been pushed back a couple of months. All of the following features requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and will be enabled by default for users with such a license. Automatic rescheduling of 1:1 meetings Automatic rescheduling of flexible 1:1 meetings and personal events in Outlook with Copilot, helping users resolve conflicts with minimal manual effort is coming soon. This will be in addition to the already released auto rescheduling of meeting rooms. Originally this feature was planned for mid‑November 2025 to mid‑January 2026, but is now hopefully coming between to mid‑February 2026 and the end of February 2026.

Finding an easier way to mange you Microsoft 365 organization

on

Microsoft 365 comes with a lot of portals and APIs through which you can manage your tenant. If your job is focused on just a couple of workloads, you can get by with using a couple of portals to perform your tasks. But if your task is to manage multiple, or even all the workloads for the organizations, you can find yourself spending a lot of time jumping between portals and user interfaces.

Some organizations solve this by writing their own tools to gather the information they need on a daily basis. Bun not everyone has that capacity in their own organization. This is where third party tools come in, and can really help you getting an overview of what is going on in your tenant. One of these tools is AdminDroid.

The tool comes with almost 1000 different reports on the status of your tenant. It is really easy to get to know what's going on in your tenant (or not), and the user interface is really intuitive. AdminDroid will not only give you great insights into Azure AD and all that is configured there (users, groups, licenses, security and more), but the reports can be used to dig into the audit logs for multiple workloads. The tool can help you identify what has happened to files and folders in Sharepoint, tell you how many secret channels there are in your Teams organization, who have been given access to another's mailbox or is a great starting point if you want to look into how your organization has adopted MFA.

Theses are some of the reports I have been using myself to solve multiple issues. And instead of working my way through multiple portals to find my the answers, they have all been available through AdminDroid. You can not configure anything through AdminDroid, but that is rather easy as soon as you have found what you are looking after.
