Summary

This feature requires no configuration, won't affect users, and will be available by default after rollout. No action is needed to prepare.

Body (from Message Center)

[Introduction]

We are introducing a new capability in the Outlook Actionable Messages admin dashboard that will help Exchange administrators improve visibility into Actionable Messages providers registered in their organization. This update will support auditing, documentation, and operational readiness by making provider information easier to review and export.

[When this will happen]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out this change in early May 2026 and expect to complete rollout by mid‑May 2026.

[How this affects your organization]

Who is affected

What will happen

Exchange administrators will be able to view a list of organization‑scoped registered Actionable Messages providers in the Outlook Actionable Messages admin dashboard:
Administrators will be able to download (export) the provider list for offline review, auditing, or documentation purposes.
The feature will be available by default after rollout.
No configuration changes will be required.
Existing provider registrations will not be modified.
There will be no impact to users, and Actionable Messages behavior in Outlook will remain unchanged.
