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.

469 of 469 selected pages have a baseline. 401 pages have an observed change; the newest was seen today.
