New revoked-credential diagnostics and Netskope coexistence guidance expand Entra admin coverage
The period’s most consequential changes are a new Workload ID troubleshooting guide and expanded Netskope coexistence guidance for Global Secure Access and Internet Access. Microsoft also announced staged usability improvements for Microsoft Authenticator on iOS and Android. The remaining updates are lower-impact directory and numbering maintenance, including a new Fortytwo migration-partner listing and a corrected Edgile link.

A new guide documents revoked-credential error codes, inspection of tokenRevocations on applications and service principals through Microsoft Graph beta, and ways to assess revocation effects and possible compromise. It notes that existing tokens may continue granting access to some resources until they expire.

Internet Access · Security
Updated coexistence guidance documents a scenario in which Global Secure Access handles private application and Microsoft 365 traffic while Netskope captures internet traffic. It adds configuration, verification, and traffic-testing steps for Windows and macOS, including forwarding profiles, steering exceptions, client settings, and traffic-log validation.
