Introduction

We’re excited to announce new enhancements to the rollback feature in Cloud Update, available in the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center (config.office.com). These updates provide IT admins with greater flexibility and control, making it even easier to keep Microsoft 365 Apps current, secure, and Copilot-ready, while ensuring a safety net for your organization.

With the latest improvements, you can now roll back updates by device, group, or across all eligible devices, helping you quickly address issues and maintain productivity with minimal disruption.

When this will happen

Public Preview (Worldwide): The enhanced rollback experience is rolling out now and will be available to all Cloud Update customers over the coming weeks.

How this affects your organization

You’ll have new options available for rolling back devices, including support for Microsoft Entra ID groups and the ability to roll back all eligible devices. The experience is streamlined and integrated into the existing Monthly Enterprise profile page.

To access the new rollback capabilities:
