Running a Microsoft 365 tenant means juggling user expectations, governance, and a constant feed of updates from Microsoft. The admin center gives you digest emails and an alerts feed, but that only helps if you enjoy manually sorting through hundreds of changes every month. Most admins do not.

This session shows you how to stop reacting and start owning the update stream. You will learn how to extract roadmap and Message Center data, store it in something you control, apply filtering logic using Copilot or Power Automate, and route the high-impact items into Planner, Teams, or email. We will walk through tagging updates by category, creating task triggers for major releases, and building a change-dashboard that gives you a reliable forward view. You will leave with a blueprint you can implement in your tenant without buying another tool or drowning in admin spam.

You will learn:

  • How to extract and centralize Microsoft 365 Message Center and Roadmap data using native tools and automation.
  • How to filter, categorize, and prioritize updates with Copilot or Power Automate so only the relevant changes reach your team.
  • How to build a repeatable workflow that converts major updates into actionable tasks, alerts, and planning steps in tools like Planner or Teams.
