After June’s massive drop of feature updates, July had ZERO with significant eDiscovery impact. That gave me a month off of roadmap coverage. The 178 new/updated features since June continue to improve Copilot integrations. Teams meeting recap will now reach mobile, 1:1 chat and in-person meetings, which increases the pressure on corporate legal to expand eDiscovery to manage this content.
| Feature | Impact | eDJ | Description | Details | Tags – Product | Tags – Release phase | Release | Last Modified | Published |
| 498159 | 3 | Expanding the potential discovery targets because 1:1 and group chats are stored in user mailboxes instead of the Team site mailbox. | Microsoft Teams: Chat Notes | A new collaborative space is now available directly from your Teams chat, enabling real-time collaboration, organization of key information, and streamlined communications. Chat notes is available in 1:1 and group chat, and is accessible only to the chat members. Add images, format text, share Loop components, and mention chat members when you require their attention. | Microsoft Teams | General Availability, Targeted Release | 10/1/2025 | 8/26/2025 | 2025/02/09 |
| 499891 | 2 | The ability to create AI notes and action items for in-person meetings increases the risk of recording without consent, machine errors, etc. | Microsoft Teams: Facilitator agent for scheduled and ad-hoc meetings in Teams Rooms on Windows | Users can now use the Facilitator agent in Teams Rooms on Windows for real-time notes and action items during both scheduled hybrid and impromptu in-person meetings using AI. In hybrid meetings, the agent appears in the notes panel. For in-person meetings, a participant can scan the QR code on the display in the room to invoke the agent as the group’s assistant. | Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365) | General Availability | 10/1/2025 | 8/26/2025 | 2025/02/09 |
| 500863 | 1 | Loop adoption has outpaced discovery controls in many orgs. This is another embedded/hyperlinked file challenge for processing. | Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Reference a Loop or Page when creating a presentation with Copilot | You can now reference a Loop or Page when you create a presentation with Copilot within the PowerPoint application. | PowerPoint, Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365) | General Availability | 9/1/2025 | 8/21/2025 | 2025/02/09 |
| 500869 | 1 | While API access is useful, the limits of Standard eDiscovery E1 license cases limit the impact. | Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Graph APIs for Standard eDiscovery Cases | Releasing Graph APIs supporting case management, search management and export for tenants with standard eDiscovery licenses. | Microsoft Purview compliance portal | General Availability, Preview | 11/1/2025 | 8/19/2025 | 2025/02/09 |
| 499800 | 2 | Teams meeting live translation and transcription will continue to add business value and add meeting content to discovery volume. | Microsoft Teams: Live caption translation in Teams Rooms on Android | Users can now choose the translation language you prefer without affecting what other meeting participants see in Teams Rooms on Android. Currently, live captions display in the spoken language by default, this change allows individuals to select their own experience. This feature is available on Teams Rooms Pro. | Microsoft Teams | General Availability | 10/1/2025 | 8/8/2025 | 2025/02/09 |
| 499616 | 2 | This change will make live captions a safer option for high risk customers who are not ready for transcription. | Microsoft Teams: Enhanced privacy and stability for live captions | To improve privacy, when transcription is off, captions will now show only the past five minutes of dialogue instead of the full meeting. If transcription is on, captions display the entire conversation, just like with live transcription. We’re also fixing an issue where changing the caption position could cause data loss—now, moving captions will not affect the text shown. These updates also apply to Real-time Text (RTT), ensuring a consistent and reliable experience. | Microsoft Teams | General Availability, Targeted Release | 9/1/2025 | 8/5/2025 | 2025/02/09 |
| 497939 | 1 | I can see this being a great benefit or risk for contracts. | Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Update document sections from new sources | Easily refresh parts of your document using content from other files—without copying and pasting. Copilot keeps your formatting intact while pulling in the latest updates from new sources. | Word, Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365) | General Availability | 9/1/2025 | 8/4/2025 | 2025/02/09 |
