Every week I'll be posting a quick summary of O365 updates included in the admin weekly digest email that you can sign up for via the admin Message Center: https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home#/MessageCenter -these emails include items posted to the message center over the last week and come out every Monday.

The headline feature this week are the changes to Modern news pages in O365 and the concept of "Organizational News" (Roadmap ID: 30547) rolling out in Q2.

And if your following the road map, which you should be, you will be seeing some new update rolling out over the next 2 months. 


Next there are a few reminder alerts that I've talked about previously, the enhancements to open Word and PowerPoint files faster when they are saved to OneDrive and SharePoint, and also the tenant opt-out for modern lists is retiring in April. Individual sites/lists will still be able to revert back to the classic UI.

Finally, a few Yammer updates starting with planned maintenance starting this weekend on Saturday February 16th. Yammer is also updating the way you can post an update/poll/praise to remove the all Company group by default when posting on the home feed.

New feature: Changes to PowerPoint and Word to open files faster
We’re excited to release a new change to make documents saved to OneDrive and SharePoint open faster. We’ll be rolling this change out soon. Rather than always checking for updates for cloud files prior to opening, Word and PowerPoint will open any existing version on the user’s device and then sync updates immediately afterwards.

PowerApps Delegation Warning

Update Aug 15 2019 - Microsoft has updated PowerApps to allow for some complex SharePoint data delegation, this will hopefully resolve most issues you were seeing when working with SharePoint data:  https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/sharepoint-delegation-improvements/ If you've tried to use the Filter, LookUp or Search actions in PowerApps you have seen the yellow warning error that shows a 'delegation warning' and you might have even ignored it because your PowerApp was working fine in testing.

SharePoint Site Theming: Header Background Colors

As Microsoft rolls out the new Mega Menu experience for the Modern UI some of you may be wondering where these colors come from. In this post I will review the header background color options and call out which theme colors get used along the way. From left to right in the image below we have the four background options, which I'll call by the names of their color labels, Background Color (White) Theme, Neutral Light Theme, Light Theme, Dark Theme. I used the Microsoft Theme generator ( https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric#/styles/themegenerator ) to create my theme and applied the theme to my tenant using the Add-PnPTenantTheme ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/add-pnptenanttheme?view=sharepoint-ps ) command to apply the following theme in PowerShell, I've also added comments to lines that impact themes for your reference. @{ "themePrimary" = "#0a162b"; #Theme Dark Local "themeLighterAlt" = "
