GCC High Microsoft 365 Roadmap Updates

The Microsoft 365 Roadmap changes constantly. That’s why each week, Planet distills the GCC High-specific updates simply and clearly to keep you “In The Know.”

GCC High Priority Update

Week of February 12, 2026

Microsoft SharePoint is introducing an admin policy that allows organizations to automatically expire “People in your organization” sharing links after a defined period. Administrators can set organization-wide expiration timeframes—such as 30 days, 90 days, or a custom duration—to prevent internal links from remaining active indefinitely. This update strengthens internal data governance by reducing persistent access to shared content and supporting tighter control over information lifecycle management in regulated environments. The feature is currently in development with expected rollout beginning June 2026 for GCC High and DoD tenants.

Microsoft 365: Change Meeting Organizer via PowerShell Cmdlet in Exchange Online

Allows the administrator of an Exchange Online tenant to change the organizer of an existing meeting or meeting series via a PowerShell cmdlet. This can be used, for example, to maintain continuity and history of a long-running meeting series in cases where the meeting organizer has a new role, is on leave, or during the offboarding process. Once the meeting is transferred, the new organizer will be able to maintain all properties of the event including meeting time and recurrence, attendees, and description. Meeting attendees within the Exchange Online tenant will not need to re-RSVP and the existing event on their calendar will be silently updated with the new meeting organizer information.

A subsequent feature will enable users to change the organizer via Modern Calendar in OWA, New Outlook, and Teams. For user-initiated transfers the new organizer must accept the meeting before the transfer completes.

Microsoft Purview: Insider Risk Management – Ability to create cases without content in IRM

Insider Risk Management is providing the ability to create a case without content. With this, we will introduce a new active case limit (2000). This new functionality will allow customers to create more cases particularly when content download is unnecessary. If a case is created without content download, content download can be initiated anytime the case is active pending available content download limits. There is no change to the active content download limit (100).

Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
