Offset for reoccurring monthly maintenance window reoccurrence schedule.
Based upon your feedback, you can now offset monthly maintenance window schedules to better align deployments with the release of monthly security updates. For example, using an offset of two days after the second Tuesday of the month, sets the maintenance window for Thursday.
Try it out!
Try to complete the tasks. Then send Feedback from the Home tab of the ribbon letting us know how it worked.

This preview release also includes:
Improvements to cloud management gateway (CMG) workflow
You can now approve application workflow through email. For the application approvals through email, manually add the CMG URL in the Azure Active Directory app as single page application redirect URI. For more information on how to change the URI, see Create an app registration in Azure AD for your App Service app.
Script execution timeout for compliance settings
You can now define a Script Execution Timeout (seconds) when configuring client settings for compliance settings. The timeout value can be set from a minimum of 60 seconds to a maximum of 600 seconds. This new setting allows you more flexibility for configuration items when you need to run scripts that may exceed the default of 60 seconds.
