[Introduction:]
Microsoft Edge for Business is introducing a “What’s New” webpage to inform and educate users about the latest features and enhancements in Edge and Microsoft 365 Copilot. After a major browser version update, this page will automatically open in a new tab the first-time users launch the updated browser. This one-time experience provides an overview of new capabilities, allowing users to explore and try out these features directly or simply close the tab and continue working as usual.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 526798.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in mid-December 2025 and is expected to complete by late December 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
- Who is affected: All users signed in with their Entra ID using Microsoft Edge for Business.
- What will happen:
