Guidance changes

Observed changes to selected Microsoft guidance. Review in My radar · Timelines and exceptions

Summaries identify wording to review. “May need admin action” is reserved for dates, prerequisites, endpoints, permissions and defaults; a match does not confirm a policy change or availability in your environment.

How this works

Checks start a history on this installation. Observation time is not Microsoft's edit time, and edits made before collection or reverted between checks are unknown. History is limited to 20 source revisions per page.

Where a page's source is in a public Microsoft documentation repository on GitHub, its page also lists Microsoft's commits, and a change shows Microsoft's newest commit message between the two checks. That commit is the likeliest explanation, not a confirmed one: several commits can land between checks, shared include files change pages too, and commit dates are when the source changed, which can precede publication.

Changes sharing a sole source-commit candidate fold together. Other busy days fold by UTC observation date; they do not imply one upstream edit. Expand an entry to read every page. Article references show literal targets and labels, including relative addresses; image bytes are not captured or compared.

Where Microsoft publishes a page's source under an open license (CC BY 4.0, or MIT for Entra), a change shows the changed passages in Microsoft's wording, with removed and added words marked. Other pages show short quotes of the changed words only. Full document copies are not published here.

Documentation discovery

440 curated addresses seed monitoring. 29 discovered addresses are currently selected, within the configured limit of 80 discovered documents.

Inventory backfill is enabled. Repository history is enabled where a validated public source is available. These channels have separate request budgets and do not establish a complete repository or documentation archive.

Discovering an older entry today does not make it a new Microsoft announcement. New explicit KB aliases share a selection identity. Previously attempted alias addresses remain available with their own histories.

Review public inventory candidates

14 of 14 configured Learn inventories retained

5802 listed pages are outside the current monitored selection. These are curation candidates, not captured documents or newly published changes. Failed inventory reads retain the last accepted list; collection health is on Sources.

To monitor a reviewed page, add its full URL, product and title to PublicDocumentation:AdditionalPages. Up to 50 additions share the existing request, document and retention limits. This page never activates collection.
