We are excited to announce the new version of expiration policy which ensures any group being actively used continues to be available, circumventing expiration. This feature makes life easier for users, including admins, group owners and members, by automating the expiration and renewal process by tracking groups for user activity across different apps, like Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, tied to the group.
The new expiration policy puts group life cycle management on autopilot
The current Expiration policy allows you to set an expiration time frame for selected or all Office 365 groups . After the defined group lifetime, owners are asked to renew them if they are still needed. With this newly added intelligence, groups which are being actively used will be automagically renewed. This preempts the need for any manual action on the part of the group owners. This is based on user activity in groups across Office 365 apps like Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Yammer, and others.
- User Activity based Expiration Policy for Office 365 groups is now in Private Preview! https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365-Blog/User-Activity-based-Expiration-Policy-for-Office-365-groups-is/ba-p/762598?WT.mc_id=blog-twitter-abartolo
