M365 Changelog: Microsoft 365 roadmap site updates

MC277639 – Updated September 10, 2021: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft will be making updates to the Microsoft 365 roadmap on how you view, filter, search for, and sort the information.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will roll this out in late September (previously early September).

How this will affect your organization:

The below changes are coming to help your organization better organize and manage key information on the the Microsoft 365 roadmap.

UI changes

See last added will be removed from the header and can be accessed in the filters, under New/updated
Filters will be moving just below the header image, inline with the search bar, so it’s easier to view your selected filters and if you have search turned on
The features will be displayed on feature cards, as opposed to a table format, in order to optimize space and make information easier to view
You will be able to sort the feature cards by either preview date or Generally Available (GA) date
Status will be represented visually on the feature card to save space and make it easier to perform a quick scan
Feature cards will be easier to collapse if you want to explore looking at the status, title, and preview and GA dates
On the feature card;
- you will be able to see tags organized by category (product, release phase, platform, cloud instance)
- you will be able to initiate a feedback submission (the feedback experience does not change)
Mobile view – the same changes will be applicable in mobile view so you can easily view, sort, filter, and search

API changes

Preview date will be a new data point available to you
The filters or tags will be prefaced by a category name

Understanding the new Preview data

Not all features will have public previews, however when a public preview date is available, it will be displayed
The status of a roadmap item (In Development, Rolling Out or Launched) will be in relation to the GA date and not the preview date

The Preview data will be available and the roadmap item’s description will be updated to read, “This item is currently available in Public Preview” when the following is true:

Roadmap item has a Preview Tag, Preview Date and Microsoft is in the Preview Month

What you need to do to prepare:

You might want to notify your users about these changes and update any documentation as appropriate.
