Microsoft 365 Roadmap Monitor – New & Changed Features

Find out what changed on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap since you last looked. Each run compares Microsoft's public roadmap with the previous run and returns only the differences: new features, status changes (In development → Rolling out → Launched, or Cancelled), rollout dates that moved, edited descriptions, and items that disappeared. Every change comes with its before and after values.

Filter by product (Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, Intune, Copilot and so on), cloud (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD), platform and keyword. Put it on a weekly schedule and send the changes to Slack, Teams, email or a spreadsheet.

You can also pull the whole roadmap, filtered your way, as a clean table.

Why use this instead of the roadmap website or RSS feed?

The roadmap has about 1,900 items, and Microsoft touches around 100 of them in a typical week. The website's "New or updated" filter and the RSS feed tell you which items were touched, but not what changed. Did the rollout date slip, did the status move, or did someone fix a typo? You have to remember the old version to know.

What you need	Roadmap website / RSS	This tool
What changed since last week	A list of new or updated items	Only real changes, each with a plain-English summary
Rollout date pushed back	Shows the new date only	"Rollout start: November 2026 → January 2027"
Status moved to Rolling out	Shows the new status only	"Status: In development → Rolling out"
Item cancelled	Easy to miss	"Status: In development → Cancelled"
Item removed from the roadmap	It just disappears	Reported as removed with its last known details
Only my products and cloud	Re-apply filters each visit	Saved in your input, applied every run
Get it into Slack, Teams or a sheet	Copy and paste	One ready-to-post line per change (alertText), plus a plain-text digest

What data you get

One row per change (or per item in "Everything" mode), plus one free status row per run. Use the Changes, Full details, Alert text and Run status tabs in the Output.

Field	What it is	Example
changeType	new, changed or removed. updated on a first run, listed in Everything mode	changed
changeSummary	Plain-English description of the change	Status: In development → Rolling out. Release date: November 2026 → December 2026.
changedFields, previous	Which fields changed and their old values	["status"], {"status": "In development"}
id, title, roadmapUrl	Roadmap ID, title and a link that opens that item on Microsoft's site	576198
status	In development, Rolling out, Launched or Cancelled	In development
generalAvailability, previewAvailability	The month shown as "Rollout start" on Microsoft's site, and the preview month. Also as 2026-12 in the ...Date fields	December 2026
products, platforms, cloudInstances, releaseRings	Microsoft's tags	["Microsoft Teams"], ["GCC", "GCC High", "DoD"]
description	Full description as plain text
moreInfoUrls, created, modified	Links and Microsoft's timestamps
alertText	One line, ready to post	Changed: Microsoft Teams: ... Status: In development → Rolling out. https://...

The status row says what happened in plain English, for example "12 changes since your last run (2026-10-14 22:00 UTC): 3 new, 8 changed, 1 removed." A run summary is saved as OUTPUT, and a plain-text digest grouped by change type is saved as DIGEST in the key-value store. The digest is handy for email.

Who uses it

Who	What for
Microsoft 365 admins	A weekly list of what's coming to the services you run, without reading the whole roadmap
MSPs and consultants	One schedule per client profile (products and cloud), feeding a client newsletter or ticket queue
Change managers and trainers	Spot features moving to Rolling out, so you can prepare users before they see them
Government tenants	Filter to GCC, GCC High or DoD (about 550 items), where timing often differs from Worldwide
Mac and mobile admins	Filter to Mac (about 365 items), iOS or Android

How to use it

1. Click Try for free.
2. Leave What to return on "Changes since my last run".
3. Add your Products (one per line), for example Teams, SharePoint, Intune. Leave empty for everything.
4. Optionally pick a Cloud, Platform or Status, or add Keywords.
5. Click Start. The first run saves a snapshot and shows items added or updated in the last 7 days, so you have something to look at straight away.
6. Go to Schedules and run it weekly (or daily) with the same input. From then on, each run returns only what changed.

When to schedule it: Microsoft publishes roadmap updates once a day on weekdays, between 22:00 and 23:00 UTC. A schedule any time after 00:00 UTC catches the latest batch. Expect a bigger batch around the end of each month.

Input example

{
    "mode": "changes",
    "products": ["Teams", "SharePoint", "Exchange", "Intune"],
    "excludeProducts": ["Dynamics 365"],
    "clouds": ["Worldwide"],
    "reportChanges": ["new", "status", "dates", "removed"],
    "firstRunDays": 7
}

Useful inputs

• Products match whole words: "Teams" finds "Microsoft Teams", "Copilot" finds "Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365)", but "Team" finds nothing. Copilot alone is over a quarter of the roadmap, so filtering makes a big difference. The roadmap also includes Dynamics 365 and Power Platform items. Use Leave out these products if you don't want them.
• Changes to report lets you skip noise. For example, choose only "Status changes" and "Release or preview date moved" if you only care about timing.
• Each set of filters has its own memory. You can run several schedules (say, one per client) without them interfering. Changing the filters or the change types starts a fresh snapshot.
• Max items never loses changes. If a run hits the limit, the rest are held back and returned on the next run.
• Everything mode returns every matching item. Add "Only items updated in the last N days" to export recent activity without keeping a snapshot.

    "title": "Microsoft Teams: Near-real-time detection of malicious QR codes in messages",
    "status": "In development",
    "products": ["Microsoft Teams"],
    "generalAvailabilityDate": "2026-12",

The shape of a changed item (example values):

{
    "type": "feature",
    "changeType": "changed",
    "id": "123456",
    "title": "Microsoft Teams: Example feature",
    "changeSummary": "Status: In development → Rolling out. Release date: October 2026 → November 2026.",
    "changedFields": ["status", "generalAvailabilityDate"],
    "previous": { "status": "In development", "generalAvailabilityDate": "2026-10" },
    "status": "Rolling out",
    "generalAvailability": "November 2026"
}

Pricing

$0.003 per roadmap check, plus $2.00 per 1,000 rows returned ($0.002 per change), plus Apify's standard $0.00005 start fee. There's no separate platform usage charge, and status rows are free. If Microsoft's roadmap can't be downloaded, only the start fee applies.

Typical costs, based on real roadmap activity in October 2026:

What you run	Rows	Cost
Daily check, nothing changed	0	$0.003
Weekly check, Teams + SharePoint + Exchange + Outlook	about 40	$0.08
Weekly check, all products	about 115	$0.23
Full roadmap export	about 1,900	$3.85

A weekly watch on a few products costs about $0.35 a month, well within Apify's free monthly credit.

If you set a maximum cost per run, the tool stops at that limit and holds the remaining changes for your next run, so nothing is missed.

Reliability, built in

• Status row on every run. It says what changed, what was held back and why.
• No false alarms when Microsoft has a bad day. If the roadmap feed comes back much smaller than last time, removals aren't reported and nothing is forgotten.
• Two sources. It reads Microsoft's current roadmap API and falls back to the older one if the current one fails.
• Only real changes. Microsoft often updates an item's timestamp without changing anything visible. Those are ignored, so you're not charged for them.
• Nothing gets lost. Changes over your item or cost limit carry over to the next run.
• Fast. A full check of the roadmap takes a few seconds.

Integrations and scheduling

Schedule it in Apify (weekly is a good start). Apify connects directly to Slack and email. For Microsoft Teams, Google Sheets or anything else, use Apify's Power Automate, Zapier, Make or n8n integrations, or a webhook. Post the alertText field as a message, or email the DIGEST record. You can also call it from your own scripts through the Apify API, or let AI agents use it through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

What's the difference between "Cancelled" and "removed"? Microsoft sometimes marks a dropped feature as Cancelled, which shows up as a status change. "Removed" means the item was on the roadmap last run and isn't now. That's usually an older launched or cancelled item being archived. The row includes the item's last known status so you can tell.

Why did my first run return so few items? The first run has nothing to compare against. It saves a snapshot and returns items added or updated in the last 7 days (change this with "First run: include the last N days"). Real change tracking starts from the second run.

Does it include Message Center posts? No. Message Center needs a sign-in to your tenant. This tool only reads the public Microsoft 365 Roadmap, which needs no account and no permissions.

How many items are on the roadmap? About 1,900 (1,923 in October 2026). Microsoft's feed only includes current items, so older launched features drop off over time.

I changed my filters and got a "first run" again. Why? Each set of filters keeps its own snapshot, so separate schedules don't interfere with each other. Changing the filters starts a new snapshot.

How often does Microsoft update the roadmap? Once a day on weekdays, between 22:00 and 23:00 UTC, with a larger batch around the end of each month. A daily or weekly schedule is plenty.

Is this legal? Yes. The Microsoft 365 Roadmap is public information Microsoft publishes for customers. This tool reads only that public feed, doesn't log in, and collects no personal data.

Something isn't working? Open an issue on the Issues tab with your input and the run link. I usually reply within one business day.
