On April 25th, 2020 we received message center notification MC210713 in our tenant indicating there was going to be a feature deprecation in SharePoint Designer impacting custom form creation. If your organization has completely adopted the modern SharePoint experience this notification will not impact you in anyway. On April 23rd, 2020 we received message center notification MC210568 indicating there were updates to Power Platform Data Loss Prevention capabilities. This update removes the “data governance blocker” for organizations that have yet to enable Power Automate nee Flow and Power Apps within their environment. Ironically the latter announcement indicated the starting date of the Data Loss Prevention capability updates was April 22nd, 2020…nice timing there Microsoft😊. Feel free to read on to understand how the two are related, especially if your still using Classic SharePoint sites with customizations in your environment!

This used to be just be a part of some professions however it’s becoming expected of all members of the workforce and increasingly more difficult to do in information technology.

WHAT’S NEW IN OFFICE 365 (DECEMBER 2019)
Ignite has come and gone but all that really means is we have more features getting rolled out in than usual😉. There are plenty of noteworthy posts regarding Ignite announcements and sessions on the Tech Community blogs that are worth checking out however most of the content for this month’s post is coming directly from the Office 365 Message center.
