Microsoft 365 app: Catch Up Improvements on Web

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft 365 apps now retain 'Catch Up' comment activity for 28 days, showing directed comments and recent changes. This improves collaboration but extends the persistence of potentially sensitive information within user interfaces.

The Impact

End users are affected by increased visibility of past document activity, with a low security risk related to information persistence.

  • End users: Easier tracking of document changes, but extended visibility of potentially sensitive comments.
  • Security teams: Low impact, but awareness needed regarding extended UI persistence of activity data.
