Need Clarification on Custom Sites Being Excluded From MS Updates

Question

Hello--&nbsp;I tried to Google this question and I'll I got were sales sites for custom SP development.&nbsp;Years ago I attended a SharePoint meeting at a MS office and learned that customized SPO sites were excluded from MS updates. Is that still the case?&nbsp;Thank you,&nbsp;-Stephen

razor7tech&nbsp;No this is not true. If the sites are Modern Sites, they will indeed receive updates. If you are using classic SharePoint interface - this is no longer being actively developed by Microsoft, so unlikely to have any updates.

Hello&nbsp;razor7tech&nbsp;, this sounds crazy... can specify what you are trying to realize? Maybe your Sites are on an offline server? I have an MS365 Tenant since 2016 and my Team sites and Collab Sites are updating correctly and online since several years...:) Have a good day, Eva&nbsp;

Hello Eva--My question is specific to customizations. Does MS still exclude custom site parts from their updates?Thanks,Stephen

razor7tech&nbsp;if you created some customized web parts in classic sharepoint, I recommend the new Modern SharePoint FrameworkX (SPFX), see this:&nbsp;SharePoint Development documentation | Microsoft DocsYour question is still quite vast... if you can send a screenshot on that customations you did, i can specify my answers.Greets, Eva

Eva Vogel&nbsp;&nbsp;Hello--&nbsp;The site collection has not been created yet. We are in the process of considering a POC for a new site. When I attended a course at the local Microsoft office a few years ago, a MS employee said they do not patch or otherwise apply SharePoint updates to any custom SP parts.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are not aware of this policy from a few years ago, then I don't want to take any more of your time.&nbsp;Thank you!
