Planner Synchronization of Microsoft 365 Message Center Notifications Improves
Microsoft published the very good news that the Planner synchronization with the Microsoft 365 message center will support HTML formatted text when it creates or updates tasks. This might seem like a small change, but if you use Planner to track the progress of anything, like we do for the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook, it’s sometimes the little changes that make the biggest impact. https://office365itpros.com/2026/05/15/planner-synchronization/Why Graph-added People Skills Don’t Show Up on the User Profile Card
Microsoft’s People Skills service can use AI to attribute 16,000 different skills to users. Those skills show up on the user profile card. However, once a Microsoft 365 tenant enables People Skills, they lose the ability to add custom skills for user profiles via Graph APIs or People Connectors. It’s a curious situation where Microsoft blocks custom additions because its AI-powered service is active. Couldn’t both exist alongside each other? https://office365itpros.com/2026/05/14/people-skills-graph/Encryption in Microsoft 365 – How It Protects Your Data
In today’s digital workplace, data is constantly moving between emails, cloud storage, collaboration tools, mobile devices, and remote teams. As businesses rely more heavily on cloud platforms, protecting sensitive information has become one of the top priorities for organizations of every size. This is where Microsoft 365 encryption plays a critical role. https://dellenny.com/encryption-in-microsoft-365-how-it-protects-your-data/Understanding How Graph Permissions for Groups Work
Understanding the set of Graph permissions required by apps can be challenging. In this article we discuss how the Group.Read.All and GroupMember.Real.All permissions work and why you should choose one permission over the other so that you respect the principle of least permission when it comes to assigning Graph permissions to your apps and PowerShell scripts. Experience of reviewing scripts shows that too many people use Group.Read.All without needing to. Don't over-permission your scripts! https://office365itpros.com/2026/05/13/graph-permissions-groups/
Issues with Creating of Shared Booking Page in MS Bookings

Running engagement surveys through M365 without buying another tool?
HR asked me if we can run quarterly employee engagement surveys using our existing M365 stack. We have E3 licenses. I tried setting up something with Forms but the analytics are super basic and theres no way to track trends over time or slice by department without a bunch of manual Excel work. Before I go back to HR and tell them we need to buy a dedicated survey tool, has anyone gotten something workable going with just M365?
Best way to enforce manager check-ins across the org using M365 tools?
Our CHRO wants every manager to have at least bi-weekly check-ins with directs and wants visibility into whether its actually happening. Right now theres zero tracking. Some managers do it, some dont, and leadership has no idea. I looked at Viva Insights but it only shows meeting frequency, not whether there was an actual structured conversation. Is there a way to get reporting on this through admin center or do we need something separate?
