Microsoft are rolling out new features and changes to the Microsoft 365 services frequently.
SharePoint site templates for Education

These are for schools and universities, made available via the Microsoft Look Book. Each brings together news, events, highlighted content, quick links and more, pre-configured and designed with a specific scope and audience for a variety of Education scenarios.
Azure CDN caching for SharePoint and OneDrive video
- Roadmap ID: 66065
- August 2020
We are pleased to introduce improved support for videos; aka, better streaming performance for videos you store in SharePoint and OneDrive. Videos that are accesses often will be streamed from the Azure CDN closest to the user to optimize the playback experience. At all times data will remain within the Microsoft 365 compliance boundary.
Download SharePoint site usage data in Excel
- Roadmap ID: 66395
- August 2020
Site owners, from the Site usage page, will be able to export their site's 90-day usage data in an Excel report. You can then build out a process that works for you per your preferences or governance requirements, to download the data on a recurring basis and build out the analysis you desire in Excel, or take it beyond and visualize the data in Power BI.
Teamwork updates across SharePoint team sites, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams
- Roadmap ID: 64164
- August 2020
Site owners, members and visitors will now see a Share command when they are viewing a list, even when they do not have any list item selected. Site owners will be able to grant other users access to the list and can specify whether to give View-only, Edit, or Full Control permissions to the list.
SharePoint lists and libraries - improved image columns
- Roadmap ID: 64872
- August 2020
It is much easier now to work with images in lists and libraries. Once an Image column is added to a list or library, users can add an image using the list or library form. They, too, can view, replace, or remove the image when viewing the item or file properties in the form.
Move files, and keep sharing
- Roadmap ID: 65907
- August 2020
Collaboration requires the flow of work access to go unbroken. When you move a file to a new location in Microsoft 365, you will have the option to continue sharing the file from its new destination. A simple pop-up to confirm and keep moving forward.
Yammer discovery feed
- Roadmap ID: 59319

One superpower of Yammer is discovery – discovering new communities and new conversations that help broaden your perspective. This is the place for you to catch up on conversations happening in the communities you belong to.
Access Visio directly from a tab within Teams channels
- Roadmap ID: 20886
- August 2020
As part of our commitment to make collaborating on Visio diagrams within Teams seamless, we have added the ability to have “Visio as a tab.” This brings co-authoring on a diagram in real time.
