Admins often move between multiple areas of the Microsoft 365 admin center to manage their deployment journey. We understand they want a simpler, more connected experience—and their feedback is now coming to life. Starting today, Microsoft is rolling out a new Setup experience that brings these deployment capabilities together in one place where admins can easily track deployment progress, access guides and support, action recommended next steps including direct product configuration, without navigating across multiple pages.
Here’s a closer look at what’s new in Setup and what’s ahead.
What's new in Setup
Rather than organizing the experience around individual tools or guides, the redesigned dashboard focuses admins on outcomes. It shows where deployment stands and surfaces the most relevant next steps. Deployment progress, onboarding completion, licensing information, and readiness insights appear together, providing a holistic view across Microsoft 365 workloads.

By highlighting the most relevant setup tasks and deployment guidance, it enables admins to spend less time searching and more time taking action. From within the experience, admins can configure products, explore guidance across Microsoft 365 solution areas, and start or resume a deployment guide directly from Setup.
Example of personalized next steps.The redesigned experience also brings support closer to where deployment work happens. Admins can access training, migration resources, organizational messaging, deployment assistance, and FastTrack support, while dedicated pages provide deeper insights into onboarding health and related activities.
Together, these changes create an integrated self-service experience that gives admins greater visibility into progress, clearer next steps, and easier access to the resources they need to move forward with confidence.
