Focused Inbox provides two filtered views of your inbox; Focused and Other. Emails that matter most to you are viewed in the Focused tab while the rest remain easily accessible, but out of the way, in the Other tab. You’ll be informed about new emails appearing in the “Other” tab filtered view, and you can switch between tabs (views) at any time to take a quick look. However, all emails remain in your inbox; no emails are moved. Focused Inbox is a refinement and improvement of a previous feature called Clutter. Active Clutter users will have to opt-in to Focused Inbox, and will be able to do so from an in-app prompt in Outlook. Users can keep using the existing Clutter experience through the transition. We will communicate again via Message Center when this change happens. Focused Inbox has admin controls to help manage within your organization: 1. Whitelist controls to ensure certain business critical communications, like HR, Payroll, etc., always land in the user’s Focused tab of the Inbox. 2. Controls to enable/disable Focused Inbox for all current and future mailboxes, or select mailboxes, in your organization.

Nothing! When this is available, it will be enabled for those who wish to use it.

Similiarily, the Office 365 Roadmap (https://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-roadmap) has become easier to see details about items as well as a unique ID to track with.

Check it out for the latest and greatest from Microsoft.

• Microsoft PowerApps – rapidly build web and mobile business applications without coding
• Microsoft Flow – automate business processes through simple configuration

This means:

• You’ll be able to launch PowerApps directly from the SharePoint mobile app.
• Modern document libraries will be made available as a data source for PowerApps and Microsoft Flow.
• For Microsoft Flow, you’ll be able to run any flow on demand for a specific document or list item, in addition to waiting for an automated trigger to fire.
• Using the data gateway, PowerApps and Microsoft Flow will work with on-premises data in SQL and SharePoint as simply as cloud-based data.

The update affects Outlook on the web users. The updated experience improves how you access people. We updated Contact Cards to provide a “no-click” way to access common communication actions, as well as provide the ability to see who someone is and how you know them. The new Contact pane offers a deeper view of someone, and we also made several enhancements within the main People section itself. We started rolling this out to First Release customers today, and the roll out will be completed worldwide over the coming weeks.

What do I need to do to prepare for this change?

There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this change.

Previously, we sent external sharing invitations via the Microsoft Online Services Team address. We have often heard that this e-mail address is confusing and that users have trouble finding invitations that have been sent to them. To address these issues (and to make our external sharing mails consistent with our internal sharing mails), we will now be sending external sharing invitations via the Exchange Web Services. Sharing invitations will now come from a SharePoint owned "No Reply" address.

What do I need to do to prepare for this change?

No changes are required at this time. External users will continue to receive invitations with no change in the acceptance flow.

The modern list will be the default experience for all lists except as noted below. Some customizations are not yet supported in the modern experience, and if we detect such a customization we will automatically redirect users to the classic experience.

What do I need to do to prepare for this change?

Administrators may choose to disable the modern lists experience on a per list, per site, or tenant wide basis, using the same control previously offered for modern document libraries. If modern experiences are enabled, any SharePoint user will be able to preview the modern lists experience, regardless of First Release or Production rollout schedule, immediately.

Focused Inbox is a refinement and improvement of a previous feature called Clutter. As Focused Inbox rolls out, we’ll stop moving messages to the Clutter folder. You will have mailbox and tenant level control of the feature to stage the rollout in a manner that works best for your organization.

For many, the inbox is the command center for their day. It’s the way to keep track of what is going on and what needs to get done. Outlook’s Focused Inbox makes this process easier by helping you focus on the emails that matter most to you. It separates your inbox into two tabs—Focused and Other. Emails that matter most to you are in the Focused tab, while the rest remain easily accessible—but out of the way in the Other tab. You’ll be informed about email flowing to Other, and you can switch between tabs at any time to take a quick look.

SharePoint sites with the publishing feature enabled currently load the classic UI for all document libraries and the Site Contents page in that site, except for document libraries that have explicitly enabled the modern experience in library advanced settings. We are changing it so that sites with the Publishing feature enabled will load the modern UI for site contents and documents libraries, unless an administrator has opted out of the modern experience.

What do I need to do to prepare for this change?
If you want certain sites with Publishing enabled to continue to use the classic experience, you can configure them to do so. For information on how to do this, click the Additional Information link.
