Updated April 7, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
[Introduction]
We’re refreshing the OneDrive Activity Center on macOS. This redesign brings a cleaner, more intuitive way to check sync status, manage files, and resolve issues, right from your desktop.
[When this will happen:]
- General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early April 2026 and expect to complete by end of April 2026 (previously mid-April).
- General Availability (GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out in early April 2026 and expect to complete by late May 2026.
[How this affects your organization:]
Who is affected: All organizations with users running the OneDrive Sync client on macOS.
What will happen:
- The redesigned OneDrive Activity Center and native macOS dialogs align the OneDrive sync client with macOS platform conventions, providing a familiar, system-consistent experience for Mac users.

- The updated interface is intended to make onboarding, and day‑to‑day use, more straightforward for users who expect standard macOS behavior.
- Accessibility support is improved, including full VoiceOver and Full Keyboard Access support.
- Sync status information, recent activity thumbnails, and error indicators are presented more clearly, making it easier for users to identify and address common sync issues without contacting support.
- The update is enabled by default and rolls out automatically.
- No admin configuration, policy changes, or user action is required.
