Microsoft 365 – Feature Update – New M365 group creation and editing in My Groups

Hi All,

Greetings.

Today, I am sharing an update on a new feature related to Microsoft 365 group creation and editing.

Feature Update: Improving Microsoft 365 group creation and editing experience in My Groups

Details

• Microsoft is improving the Microsoft 365 group creation and editing experience in My Groups. This will help group owners more control and clarity from the start. The updated experience lets us set up key group, email, and security settings.

With this update, group owners can:

• Set group usage guidelines, email aliases, and sensitivity labels

• Set up Exchange settings like sending welcome emails, subscribing members to conversations, and showing the group mailbox and calendar in Outlook

• Control who can send emails to the group, hide the group from the global address list, and allow or block external senders
• Enable security group functionality when needed

• This streamlined, self‑service experience helps ensure Microsoft 365 groups are created with the right defaults and policies.
• This experience provides greater visibility into how the group will behave once created or edited
• The feature is enabled by default and does not require admin configuration
• There is no impact to existing Microsoft 365 groups
• This update may reduce follow‑up support requests related to group misconfiguration
