Office feels different again this month and this time policies, channels and licences are the reason.

Key shifts in June

▪️Microsoft 365 Apps policies are being consolidated: future configuration will move from Intune to the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center, so tenants should review where they manage Office app settings and plan the migration of existing policies.

▪️Cloud Update for Microsoft 365 Apps is gaining simplified channel management: profile and update channel assignment will be unified and existing update profiles auto‑migrated, reducing complexity when moving devices between channels.

▪️A licensing certificate for Microsoft 365 Apps on macOS and iOS expires on 13 July 2026; devices not updated to the required versions will drop into read‑only (unlicensed) mode until updated, so Mac/iOS fleets need patch plans now.

Not a feature update. A behaviour change users will feel first.

🗓 Rolling now → June 2026

Short, human, and absolutely no release-note trauma.
