What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, with source markup removed
Updated August 29, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates you may be using new Microsoft Outlook for Windows in your organization. Coming soon for new Outlook for Windows: an updated People Hub with a modern contact management experience that will retrieve and display high-quality, complete, coherent, and up-to-date information about the people that matter the most to you. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 413114. When this will happen: Targeted release: We have initiated roll out and we’re currently at 50%. We expect to complete by mid-September 2025 (previously end of August 2025) General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-October 2025 (previously mid-September 2025) and expect to complete by early November 2025 (previously early October 2025) How this will affect your organization: Before this rollout: The People Hub can contain multiple entries for the same contact and organizational profile information may not be included. After this rollout: The People Hub will contain a unified view of a person with profile enriched contacts and auto-hidden duplicates. To access the People Hub, select the People icon from the left side of the new Outlook for Windows. As part of the new contact management experience, your contacts will automatically be enriched with profile information from your organization's directory and other sources. We have updated the profile card with a new Manage sources feature where a user can manage links to the contact sources: After a user selects Manage sources, the user can manually Unlink contact sources, Edit contact sources that are not from their organization, and manage sources. Also, to improve the contact management experience, contacts that are exact duplicates will be automatically hidden. These changes will be on by default. What you need to do to prepare: This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation. After the feature is rolled out, please ensure that you are using new Outlook for Windows to get access to the updated People Hub. Learn more: Add, find, edit, or delete a contact in Outlook - Microsoft Support (will be updated when rollout begins) #newoutlookforwindows
