M365 Roadmap Management
Wondering if others have tips & tricks on how they stay up to date with the M365 Roadmap site? I find it tedious to stay on top of all the features being announced, switching launch phases, moving target dates, and so on. I was hoping to use the RSS feed in a PowerBI Dashboard or find a solution in Planner similar to syncing the Admin Centre messages, and after some quick searches online could not find an example of anyone doing something similar. I was hoping any members of this community may be able to shed some light on how they approach the roadmap site and what tools if any they use to manage the constant influx of information? TIA!M365 Adoption Score - The "Remote Work'" measure doesn't make sense to me
Has anyone here used the M365 Adoption score to help plan and measure a client's adoption journey? I'm reading up on everything and I'm confuse about the Remote Work measure. According to the documentation, people are counted as "onsite" if they spend more than 3 hours in M365 apps per day. So I work from home a few days a week and probably spend 3-4 hours in PowerPoint and maybe Excel. Would I be counted as "onsite" even thought I'm remote? Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this works, so I'm hoping someone here can clarify. Right now, this seems like a flawed measure to me.Anyone Know IF or WHEN Microsoft will fix the bullet-point bug in Teams?
I'm certain many/most of you have come across the bug I'm referring to. If you're not, there is a bug in Teams chat and Channels where using the keyboard dash [-] to start a bullet list will.. use the wrong bullet level, and.. post the message when you press [ENTER] instead of starting a new line' The only workaround is to manually select the bullet list option from the formatting bar. Not a great look for Microsoft when I have to train users on Teams. I haven't seen any acknowledgement of this bug from Microsoft since it started last fall, so I'm curious to see if anyone knows more about this.Service Health Notification: SharePoint Look Book Provisioning

Importing font awesome CSS into web component (FASTElement)
I am trying to include the Font Awesome CSS into a https://www.fast.design/docs/api/fast-elementindustrial furniture like this: import { css } from '@microsoft/fast-element'; import { Theme } from '../../theme'; import * as style from '../../assets/fontawesome/css/all.css'; export const styles = css` ${style} :host { contain: content; display: flex; flex-direction: row; border: 2px solid ${Theme.primaryColor}; width: 512px; height: 256px; } `; I think the CSS needs to be a string, so I tried to do this by updating my webpack.config.js, which looks like this: const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin'); const path = require('path'); module.exports = function (env, { mode }) { const production = mode === 'production'; return { mode: production ? 'production' : 'development', devtool: production ? 'source-map' : 'inline-source-map', entry: { app: './src/main.ts', fa: './src/assets/fontawesome/css/all.css' }, output: { filename: '[name].[contenthash].bundle.js', publicPath: '/', clean: true }, resolve: { extensions: ['.ts', '.js'], modules: ['src', 'node_modules'] }, devServer: { port: 9000, historyApiFallback: true, open: !process.env.CI, devMiddleware: { writeToDisk: true, }, static: { directory: path.join(__dirname, './') } }, plugins: [ new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ template: './index.html' }), ], module: { rules: [ { test: /\.ts$/i, use: [ { loader: 'ts-loader' } ], exclude: /node_modules/ }, { test: /\.css$/i, use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'], }, ] } } } I modified my config following this stackoverflow post: { test: /\.css$/, use: [ 'to-string-loader', 'css-loader' ] } ...but that has the effect of causing the Font Awesome icons outside of my component to stop rendering altogether, and the icons inside the component render as square boxes, which might have something to do with fonts. Has anyone managed to import Font Awesome into web components in general and FASTElements in particular?Microsoft's updates automatically made to a copied playlist in Learning Pathways or not?
This is probably answered somewhere but I am not coming up with it. If I copy one of the Microsoft playlists that is being updated by Microsoft and then add my own content to it, as its designed to allow me to do so, will the Microsoft provided content in the copied playlist be updated automatically, like it is to be in the original playlist or not? Thank you!Help your users be successful with Microsoft 365 and Office 365 with training & tips in their inbox
As a steward for your business, you’re always looking for ways to help your users get more from the technology you provide to them. We’ve heard from admins that one way to achieve this is with product tips and training content that their users can quickly use. This content often is available at the Office 365 Training Center , but users must currently seek it out themselves—and too often, they don’t. Email for product tips and training is coming The new email content from Microsoft will include only tips and training relevant to products and services you have enabled for your users. Be assured that we will not send your users sales, marketing, or advertising messages. Here is an example of a training email. Phased rollout We recognize that smaller organizations are juggling different priorities and often their IT admins wear multiple hats. That’s why we’ll start by sending the email communications to subset of customers that have Office 365 Business Essentials, Office 365 Business Premium, and subscriptions in the US and Australia. If you are an administrator for an organization that is part of this rollout, you’ll receive a notification in the Message Center, as well as an email reminder seven days before the first training tips email is sent to your users. Please note that you will be notified by the message center before the first training email is sent to your users. All training emails will only be sent from MicrosoftOffice365@email2.office.com email address. Admin is in control As the administrator for your organization, you’re in control. You have the flexibility to unsubscribe from these emails at any time on behalf of your organization by switching the ‘End User Communications’ setting to Off in the admin center. You can always subscribe later by changing the setting to On. Follow these steps to unsubscribe your organization from the training emails: 1. Sign In to the admin center 2. Click on Show all from the left navigation bar 3. Click on Settings 4. Click on Services & add-ins 5. Click on End User Communications 6. Change the setting and click on Save If you leave the email messages enabled for your organization, individual users can still unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the Unsubscribe link in the email footer. Users can also visit the Security & privacy page of their My Account Portal to unsubscribe. Preview the first training email and send it yourself Seven days before the first message is sent to users, global admins will be sent an email reminder with the opportunity to preview the content. This preview email will be sent only for the initial training content. If you prefer to send the training email yourself, just unsubscribe at the tenant level, then download a ready-to-send template from the preview email and send the first training email at your convenience. Give us feedback We’re always listening and learning from you. Please continue to provide feedback using the feedback button within the admin center.
