Updated September 17, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
What and Why:
Administrators can now choose a severity threshold and receive alerts when a new Edge update includes security fixes that meet or exceed that threshold, including zero-day fixes. This helps organizations quickly identify updates that may require attention, while avoiding unnecessary notifications for routine releases.
