Rollout

Roadmap

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 1 Apr 2025 late March 2025 → late April 2025
  • Seen 19 Feb 2025 early February 2025 → late March 2025

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.
