Copilot in Outlook: New agentic experiences for email and calendar

Until now, Copilot in Outlook helped with the task in front of you: drafting an email, catching up on a long thread, or finding a time to meet. But the real work is everything around it: the follow-ups that slip, the messages that need attention, and the schedule changes that pile up before the day even starts. Copilot in Outlook is now agentic, taking on the ongoing work of running your inbox and calendar. It triages emails, reschedules conflicts, and surfaces what matters most before you even ask.

Microsoft 365 E7 and Agent 365 are now generally available

Microsoft 365 E7 (the Frontier Suite) combines advanced AI capabilities with enterprise-grade security and governance so organizations can move beyond isolated pilots and deploy AI confidently at scale. It is now generally available, as is Microsoft Agent 365. Agent 365 is the control plane for agents, extending the visibility, control, and trust that organizations rely on for users to the agents they deploy.

Copilot in OneNote now understands more of your notes

Copilot in OneNote can now better understand your notes beyond typed text to deliver more accurate responses to your queries with the additional context. By reasoning over the richer set of information captured on the page, Copilot can provide responses that understand the context in your notes. This enables a more conversational experience, where you can continue asking follow-up questions or exploring ideas.

Microsoft 365 Backup granular restore now generally available!

Data recovery shouldn’t feel like an all-or-nothing decision. Previously, Microsoft 365 Backup allowed you to recover OneDrive accounts and SharePoint sites. Now, granular browse and restore for OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online give IT teams a more selective way to recover individual files and folders when something goes wrong, while leaving the rest of your environment untouched.

Use multiple phone numbers in a unified Teams experience with Teams Phone user multi-line

Many organizations need a simple way for a single person to represent multiple lines of business or regions across calling without juggling multiple Teams accounts, devices, or complicated call routing workarounds. Teams Phone user multi-line helps streamline that experience by enabling a Teams user to make and receive calls for multiple phone numbers within one unified Teams experience.
