Hands-On Microsoft 365 Pulse – Weekly Updates (Week 49)

By João Ferreira Dec 9, 2025 Pulse 0 Comments

This week’s pulse update is packed with all the important updates from November for SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Copilot, and Microsoft Viva. There’s a lot to catch up on, especially after all the exciting announcements from Microsoft Ignite and the European SharePoint Conference over the past few weeks.

This week, I want to highlight something that could really impact your custom SharePoint Framework solutions: new Content Security Policies coming to SharePoint Online. If your solutions aren’t built properly or if you’re still relying on the custom script editor web part, these changes could break certain functionality.

If that’s the case, I strongly encourage you to check out the first article in the SharePoint section below for guidance. This is the perfect time to ensure your solutions are compliant and avoid any downtime on your tenant.

As always, there’s a bunch more to explore — check out the full list below. Let me know in the comments what your favorite update was this week, or what you’re hoping to see next. I’m curious to hear what caught your eye!
