SharePoint Online: A new Start experience

From Microsoft 365 Message Center Archive by Merill Fernando · Microsoft may not have sent this notice to your tenant.

Rollout

Roadmap
124824

Rollout dates are often only in the text. When Microsoft moves them, the change shows under "What changed".

Schedule dates changed in the text

Date phrases in schedule sentences differ between the versions this installation saw
  • Seen 27 Jun 2024 early June 2024, end of June 2024 → late July 2024, early September 2024
  • Seen 14 Jun 2024 May 2024

Read from date phrases in Microsoft's text, not from notice metadata. A changed phrase can be a moved rollout, a new milestone or just rewording; "What changed" below shows which.
