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 7 Nov 2025 mid-January 2025, late June 2025
  • Seen 6 May 2025 late April 2025 → late June 2025
  • Seen 5 Mar 2025 late February 2025 → late April 2025
  • Seen 5 Feb 2025 late January 2025 → late February 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.
