PowerPoint: Restore “Align” and “Distribute” tools in PP for iPad (v2.103)
Dears, I am reporting a critical regression in PowerPoint for iPad. In the current release (version 2.103), the essential Align and Distribute tools appear to have been completely removed from the UI. These features were part of the full ribbon in previous versions and are fundamental for precise, professional, efficient, effective, and smooth slide layout. Without them, basic layout tasks can no longer be performed smoothly on the iPad. The removal of core layout tools feels like an unexpected downgrade. This change significantly reduces the usability of PowerPoint on this platform and may even force users to switch to lower-tier apps such as Keynote and others for very basic editing tasks. I am fully aware that iPadOS is often perceived as a lightweight or “consumer-first” environment. Ironically, it is precisely the professional quality of Microsoft’s applications that has made the iPad a serious productivity device for many of us. Please keep this standard high – it is the reason why the iPad can function as a genuine professional workstation rather than a creative toy. I kindly request that Microsoft restores the full ribbon or provides an option to access these tools again. Thank you very much, MarcoHow to Check Unexpected Sign-Ins Against Utility Accounts
Utility accounts exist in every Microsoft 365 tenant. These accounts are not intended for normal user activity and include accounts used for Exchange room and shared mailboxes and the break-glass or emergency accounts intended to allow administrators to sign-in if their usual accounts are blocked. This article shows how to use PowerShell and the Microsoft Graph to check sign-in events to ensure that the accounts aren't being accessed. https://practical365.com/check-utility-accounts-break-glass-signins/A Brief History of Soft-Deleted Entra ID Groups
Entra ID has long supported soft-deleted Microsoft 365 Groups. Now support is available to list and restore soft-deleted security groups in both the Entra admin center and cmdlets from the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, so the articles include a script to show how to list and recover deleted Microsoft 365 and security groups. The update is very welcome as it fixes a big recovery gap in the Entra ID story. Too many important security groups have been deleted in error, much to the chagrin of administrators. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/11/soft-deleted-security-groups/Understanding OneDrive for Business and Personal Storage

In today’s digital workplace, collaboration is the foundation of productivity. Teams are often distributed across locations and time zones, yet they must share files, co-author documents, and communicate instantly. Microsoft 365 offers a powerful trio — Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive — that together create a seamless collaboration environment. While each tool has its distinct purpose, their true power lies in integration. Understanding how Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive work together helps organizations avoid confusion, improve document management, and ensure smooth, secure teamwork. https://dellenny.com/collaboration-scenarios-how-teams-sharepoint-and-onedrive-work-together-for-seamless-productivity/How Microsoft Keeps Your Data Safe in the Cloud – A Deep Dive into Cloud Security Practices
In an era when organizations increasingly store sensitive information in the cloud, security and trust are paramount.

How do you stay in the flow of work when tasks move across Teams, Outlook and now M365 Copilot? Many of us already collaborate and manage our day in these Microsoft 365 tools, but logging time often feels like something separate that interrupts our focus.

The Microsoft 365 User Passwords and Authentication report now includes the last used date for authentication methods (when available). The new data is available through the Graph beta API for listing authentication methods and the equivalent Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlet. Another change that might break scripts is a new way to expose the created date for authentication methods.

Microsoft 365 Companion Apps are being deployed to Windows 11 PCs now. The apps don’t seem to add much if any value over standard Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook and OneDrive. With that thought in mind, we move to unclutter PCs by either blocking the installation of the companion apps or stopping the apps starting up to take over valuable toolbar space. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/05/companion-apps-dump/
