Security & Compliance

- Automated Sensitivity Labels: Policy enforcement based on content context (e.g., auto-labeling confidential files).
User Experience (UX)
- Adaptive Pages: Dynamic intranet pages tailored to user roles, location, or device.
- Low-Code Customization: Tighter Power Platform integration for building workflows, dashboards, and apps without code.
Sustainability & Analytics

Hi @Kaveesha Mendis,

Here are some recent update in SharePoint, please make a reference

New SharePoint Start Page The SharePoint home page has been renamed as SharePoint start page in SharePoint in Microsoft 365. It helps users find and access their organization's SharePoint sites and portals. It also shows news from followed sites, suggested sites, and, if using SharePoint in Microsoft 365, frequented sites and news recommended by the Microsoft Graph.

Updates to Microsoft Lists forms Microsoft Lists forms are being enhanced with new features designed to elevate data collection to a professional level. Users will find new form customization options, conditional branching, additional field types, and improved control over notifications. With these enhancements, users can now create more dynamic, customized, and efficient forms. These improvements help streamline workflows and enable the collection of more targeted data. Additionally, the forms are visually appealing and ensure quick loading and submission times.

Document Library User Experience Update Updating the Document Library user experience to improve its overall performance and enhance the functionality of Edit in Grid view. After this rollout, users can expect faster page loading inside document libraries, enhanced editing capabilities in Grid View, better scrolling with large libraries, new commands and navigation options in Grid View, a redesigned properties pane and right-click context menu, support for grouped view while editing in Grid View, and improved UI for rating columns.

Microsoft Lists User Experience Update The update enhances the user experience and functionality of SharePoint lists and Microsoft Lists, the app that helps users track information and organize their work. With this update, users can now enjoy new features that make their lists more interactive and collaborative. For example, they can now:

Add ratings to any list to give feedback or rank items.

Drag and/or paste images directly into a list to enrich their data.

See who is collaborating with you in real-time to avoid conflicts and confusion.

Switch views by clicking tabs to easily change how users see their data.

View date/time values in the users' preferred date settings and time zone.

This update also improves the overall performance of Microsoft Lists, making it faster and more reliable.
