Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Summary

Review shared files without losing conversation context. When you open a PDF, Markdown, or HTML file from a Teams chat or channel message, the conversation appears alongside the file and takes you directly to where it was shared, allowing you to catch up on the discussion and respond without closing the file preview or switching back to chat.
