Updated August 19, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
Users will have the capability to open their core applications, such as Chat, Teams, and other essential apps, in separate windows by selecting Open in new window from the app’s context menu. This latest update facilitates enhanced productivity and provides greater customization of the user’s workflow. This improvement enables users to manage their core collaboration applications more efficiently, ultimately leading to a more streamlined and effective work environment.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 495003.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-November 2025 (previously mid-September) and expect to complete by early December 2025 (previously early October).
[How this will affect your organization:]
Your organization will now be able to open their core collaboration apps in its own window.
