[Introduction]
To simplify cross-tenant migrations, we're introducing a unified interface that enables administrators to move user data—including Exchange mailboxes, OneDrive files, and Teams chats and meetings—across Microsoft 365 tenants. This streamlines migration workflows and supports seamless collaboration during organizational transitions.
[When this will happen:]

- What will happen:
- A new set of PowerShell Graph commands will be available to migrate Exchange mailboxes, OneDrive content, and Teams chats and meetings across tenants.
- The feature is opt-in; no changes will occur unless enabled by your organization.

- Admins can initiate and monitor migrations from a centralized location.
[What you can do to prepare:]
- No action is required unless your organization chooses to use the feature.
