What’s New Update in Office 365 Administration
We're continuously adding new features to the Microsoft 365 admin center, fixing issues we study , and making changes supported your feedback. Take a look below to see what's available for you today. Some features get rolled out at different speeds to our customers. If you are not seeing a feature yet, try adding yourself to targeted release.
New Update Channel for Office
On May 12, we announced the availability of a new update channel for Office: Monthly Enterprise Channel. This update channel provides your users with new Office features once a month, on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
If you allow your users to self-install Office from the portal, you can select Monthly Enterprise Channel for them. To do this, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center and go to Show all >Settings > Org settings > Services > Office software download settings. If you select Once a month (Monthly Enterprise Channel), then any new self-installs of Office will be configured to use Monthly Enterprise Channel.
In conjunction with the release of Monthly Enterprise Channel, we’re also revising the names of the existing update channels. For example, Monthly Channel is being renamed to Current Channel. The new names take effect on June 9, 2020.
New Admin Roles
We've added some new Azure Active Directory admin roles to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Hybrid identity admin role gives users permission to manage cloud provisioning and authentication services.
Network admin role lets users manage network locations and review network insights for Microsoft 365 Software as a Service apps.
Printer admin role grants permission to manage all aspects of printers and printer connections.
Printer technician is a subset of the Printer admin role where those users can register and unregister printers, and update printer status. To find out more about these roles, see About admin roles.
Export Groups List
We've heard from a lot of admins that they need to share information about groups and their usage to people who don't have access to the admin centers. You can now export the Groups list to a CSV file for auditing purposes, which means you can throw out that old PowerShell script. To try it out, go to Groups > Groups, and then select Export groups from the command bar.
Microsoft 365 solution and architecture center
Just this month, we released a new site on https://docs.microsoft.com called the Microsoft 365 solution and architecture center, which brings together the technical guidance you need to understand, plan, and implement integrated Microsoft 365 solutions for secure and compliant collaboration. In this center, you'll find:
Workload solutions and scenario guidance
Solution and architecture illustrations (The posters!!!)

Enterprise architecture design principals
Docs, Training, And Videos

Intune roles management
April 2020
Well, we did it! We've taken the second step towards a unified roles experience and you can now manage Intune roles in the Microsoft 365 admin center. You can also leverage features like the power to look for roles and consider role permissions. This means you don’t need two separate tools to manage roles for Microsoft 365 and Intune. you’ll see that there are two pivots on the Roles page, one for Azure AD and one for Intune.
Sync Message Center posts to Planner
Starting in May, admins who are in Targeted release will start seeing the "Planner syncing" button in the message center. You Could track messages that needed action, select the type of messages you'd like to track, assign messages to track as tasks, and tag messages for later attention.
