Day in brief

My Staff access centers on scoped roles as provisioning guidance expands

The period is dominated by documentation maintenance: Microsoft Copilot replaces Microsoft 365 Copilot across licensing, role, security, and architecture references, alongside refreshed links and field labels. The more consequential updates clarify that legacy My Apps and My Staff settings no longer affect behavior, and add concrete setup, troubleshooting, and validation guidance for workload identity and app-gallery integrations.

This period briefing was generated by AI from the tracked Microsoft Learn and Message Center changes.
