Description
We're now introducing the third generation of the Microsoft 365 sharing experience designed to make collaboration simpler, smarter, and more secure by default. At the heart of this update is the new hero link, a single, powerful link that controls access to your files. Whether you copy a link, share via email, or send the URL from your browser, you now have a seamless and consistent way to share and stay in control of your files.
Change history
Added to the roadmap 8 May 2025. Tracked here since 1 September 2026. Earliest target we recorded: September 2026 (since tracked — Microsoft may have moved it before we started watching).
