Hi everyone, what you're seeing is a limited release of the functionality so that we can understand usage scenarios and capture feedback. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, we do intend to roll out a change digest and make this feature available broadly. An overview and design concept was shared at Ignite, and you can view the session on demand here (as well as other details of our change deployment and communication approach):

Hi Juan Carlos, tx for your prompt reaction. We are aware of the 3 channels that you mention. The amount of changes/updates announced in these channels is pretty big and do not always provide many details. In our case for example the OneDrive & Sharepoint Library experience setting was switched/pushed from 'Classic' to 'New'.

Do you happen to know in which message of the 3 channels this level of detail was announced?

We're interested to find out upfront so we can anticipate or take immediate action when these kind of changes happen again.

Microsoft usually publishes details and a support article for each change being introduced...this support article should include other references to support articles more oriented to how to enable/disable features from an IT Pro point of view...one question here: are you on first release? If so, you might consider to use selective first release so changes that happens in first release are seeing first by a group of individuals that can decide what to do with them just in case it's possible to enable or disable those changes
