SharePoint - How to get the latest updates, news & announcements regarding SharePoint Online?

Posted by Bernard Lim on March 7, 2023

As SharePoint Online is a SaaS, it is important for us (especially for SharePoint Administrators & IT Pros) to know what are the latest updates that are being released to the platform, rather than be randomly surprised or caught off guard.

Here are a couple of ways to stay updated.


Official Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Microsoft has Microsoft 365 Roadmap page. Here you can filter the Product dropdown to only list SharePoint or any other M365 products.

SharePoint Admin Center Message Center

Only applicable for SharePoint Administrators, the latest release updates can be found under the Message Center in the SharePoint Admin Center.

Note: SharePoint Admin Center can be accessed via Office Admin or directly via https://{yoursitename}-admin.sharepoint.com/
