Microsoft Celebrates SharePoint 25th Anniversary with a Bunch of Announcements
Microsoft celebrated the 25th anniversary of SharePoint with a batch of announcements, including AI in SharePoint, intended to help administrators to manage all aspects of SharePoint Online through natural language. Other interesting announcements included department-level payments for Microsoft 365 Backup and the renaming of the Connections app in Teams as the SharePoint app. Well, the last wasn’t that interesting… https://office365itpros.com/2026/03/03/ai-in-sharepoint/SharePoint 2013 Workflow Retirement: What It Means for Your Business
Microsoft has officially entered the final chapter of SharePoint 2013 workflows, and for many organizations, this update is more than just another lifecycle announcement — it’s a wake-up call. The retirement of SharePoint 2013 workflows in SharePoint Online marks a decisive shift away from legacy automation toward modern, cloud-first workflow platforms. For businesses that still rely on approval flows, notifications, and automated processes built years ago, the message is clear: those workflows will stop working, and planning can no longer be postponed. This updated news article explains what the retirement means, what changes technically after the deadline, and — most importantly — how organizations can migrate and modernize their workflows step by step. https://dellenny.com/sharepoint-2013-workflow-retirement-what-it-means-for-your-business/Announcing Office 365 for IT Pros (2026 Edition)

Office365 Autoupdate on Mac
Last week I had an issue with Autoupdate on Microsoft365 where OneNote failed to update, other app were fine. I tried selecting just this app and updating it but got a download error. Autoupdate indicates "some apps have encountered errors" and retrying just repeats the download error. I've tried machine based fixes but none have worked and I suspect it's something else as I have a Mac mini and MacBook doing the same along with my wife who has a Mac desktop. The issue is still the same a week on.

Microsoft has launched a redesigned user interface for the Planner app. The big news is the inclusion of task chat. Goals are also available, but only to people with a Microsoft 365 Copilot or Planner Premium licenses. Task Chat is a nice feature, and I am sure that it will be popular. UX redesigns often disappoint. At least this one offers new features. https://office365itpros.com/2026/02/27/planner-new-ux/
Microsoft Places desk declined despite check-in
Each We've just started using Places in our office and a few users have reported recieving a desk decline email due to no check-in on the desk, despite them using the check-in button on the Places app to check-in on arrival to the office. Has anyone seen this previously? Each desk has two monitors, which I have associated with the desks in the Teams Pro Management portal to enable detection and check-in. Reservation settings for all desks are as below.
