- Hey, everyone, I'm Vivian.
- I'm Arthur.
- And I'm Candace and welcome to What's New
with Microsoft 365 in June.
- Whether you wanna learn about the latest features
in Admin Center, or what's new with the productivity apps,
we have a lot of great updates to share with you today.
- [Arthur] Like new thinking options in Microsoft Edge
for you and your users.
- [Candace] Improvements for managing Microsoft 365
Groups in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
- [Vivian] How to get the new fast track Microsoft 365
set up guides and more.
- Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
- There are new sync capabilities in Microsoft Edge
that allow users to sign in and get quick access
to their personal data when working across
multiple devices or sharing them.
- However some organizations might need to limit
syncing of sensitive data, such as passwords,
to meet compliance or company policy requirements.
- A new policy in Microsoft Edge allows you to now
precisely manage the types of data that sync
from your users.
Everything from favorites, settings, addresses,
extensions, and more.
- For example in some workplaces, syncing passwords
might not be allowed.
But with this new syncing capability,
you can now manage this for your workplace.
- To learn more and how to implement a policy
to exclude specific data during a sync,
and just about general Edge deployment,
check out the documentation in the description below.
- We released several updates to help streamline
the management of Microsoft 365 Groups.
- [Candace] First, we've improved the team creation
experience with an improved user interface,
and improved error messages.
- [Vivian] Information in group lists can now be
exported as a .csv file using filtered properties
or search results.
- [Arthur] Also email addresses for our Microsoft 365
group can now be edited, which now enables group names
to continue to evolve as needs change.
- [Candace] Finally you can new restore a deleted group
directly from the Delete Groups page.
- To check out all the new things that you can now do
with Groups Management, just visit the Microsoft 365
Admin Center to get started.
- We're excited to announce that Safe Documents,
a feature that automatically checks against known
risk and threat profiles before allowing
the document to open is now generally available.
- Many of you are probably familiar with the
Protected View feature when opening documents.
It usually appears at the top of a file.
- [Vivian] Protected view is great to help minimize
risk when you open documents outside your organization.
However many users probably click out of the sandbox
to save time or simply because they just want to
get to work on their document.
- [Arthur] And that's when Safe Documents comes in.
This built in feature helps secure your organization
against malicious content by checking the document
against known risks and threat profiles before
allowing it to open.
- [Candace] In turn, users are no longer asked to make
actual decisions about whether or not a document
can be trusted.
- This then removes the responsibility from the user,
allowing them to focus on getting their work done.
- To enable Safe Documents for your organization,
check out the guidance at aka.ms/documentation/SafeDocs.
- And if you're in the process of configuring and
deploying apps to your team, the fast track team
has released updated and improved guides in
the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
- [Vivian] These new guides use a more modern approach
to help you save time on configuration and deployment tasks.
- [Arthur] A new remote work set up guide is also
available to help reduce the strain
on your VPN infrastructure
and to set up remote access for desktops and apps.
- To get started if you're logged in as a tenant admin
or global admin, check out the new set up guidance page
at aka.ms/SetupGuidance.
- At that link, you'll find the updated set up guides
as well as additional resources like related assistance,
tips, best practices and more.
- Many of you have expressed an easier way to manage
routine surveys in Teams channels, like to be able
to quickly send out a poll survey to get a feel
on what employees are thinking.
- Based on your feedback there are now new workflows
available in Teams for common scenarios,
like measuring employee sentiment, or employee issues
and challenges.
- [Vivian] These new workflows include templates
and the ability for users to choose frequency
and set reminders for each Teams channel.
This makes it easy to get started with surveys
and to mention them in the future.
- [Arthur] To get started with the new Forms
experience in Teams, open up a Forms survey.
In app, select Create a work flow to automatically
collect responses in the Forms tab.
And then choose a scenario.
- This month we have several new features to share
about what's new with the Visio add in in Excel.
- [Vivian] First you can now access category-specific
updates for basic and cross-functional flow charts,
plus organization charts directly in Excel.
- [Arthur] Next Single Sign on integration
is now available, which lets users already signed in
via Excel avoid secondary sign on access
with the Visio add in which simplifies
the whole experience.
- [Candace] And finally there is now localization
support that lets your users create diagrams
in all the languages already supported by Visio.
- These add ins are all available in Excel as templates.
So to get started, open Excel, and select File, New.
Then in the search bar search for Flow Chart,
choose a template you want and select Create.
- And speaking of Visio, there are two new features
available for Visio for the web.
- First you can now design your database diagrams online.
To get started visit Visio.office.com,
select the diagram template you want and start modeling
your systems and databases.
- The second update we have for Visio for the web
is that there's now an ability to save diagrams
as an image file.
- [Arthur] The Download as Image feature
enables users to save time and easily customize
the export of their Visio diagrams as image files
for easy access and sharing with anyone,
including those without a license, or subscription.
- However to use the Download as Image feature
or to design a database diagram online,
you must be a Visio Plan 1 or Plan 2 subscriber.
- That wraps up all the updates we have for June.
Thanks so much for joining us today and watching.
