Copilot in Outlook: Prioritize my inbox

Microsoft is releasing a new feature for Copilot in Outlook: "Prioritize my inbox by Copilot". The feature can go through your inbox and analyse the content for you. it will then mark them as high and low priority and help you focus on the tasks that are important to you. When the feature rolls out, it will be implemented as an opt-in feature for users, and it will be a "limited seating" until there is enough capacity for all within the organization. When available and enabled, there will be ways to tell Copilot what is important to you. You can read more about this on the support pages for the feature. A couple of notes: It will only prioritize in your main inbox (Not subfolders) It will not work on shared mailboxes or groups This feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 411302  and will start rolling out in April 2025

New Microsoft Loop workspace policy coming: Require Existing Microsoft 365 Group for New Loop workspaces

Microsoft is improving the security of Loop workspaces by giving admins the capability to connect new workspaces into existing Microsoft 365 Groups. This change will allow end-users to choose existing groups for managing new workspaces, providing a structured environment for collaboration. While this integration supports governance, it may challenge scenarios like automatic aggregation of Teams meeting content into a Loop workspace or creating short-term project workspaces. I recommend reading the following post on how aggregating teams meeting into loop workspaces works.

If organizations have separate workflows for creating and govern Microsoft 365 groups, now would be the time to look into them and see if they need to be updated to include Loop Workspaces (or allowing to add workspaces)

This update is currently planned to be complete by the end of April 2025 but keep an eye on Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422725 for changes.
