Private Access ILA (preview), Internet Access limitations, and Entra security guidance were updated—but no launch or retirement is evidenced

All nine recorded items were updates to Microsoft Learn pages; there were no new or removed items and no Message Center entries. The clearest administrator-relevant content concerns enabling Intelligent Local Access (preview) in Microsoft Entra Private Access, reviewing Internet Access known limitations, and using Zero Trust Assessment automation in Entra security guidance. The supplied evidence does not establish a launch, general availability transition, retirement, or changed service behavior; the remaining edits are mainly role and reference-page maintenance.

  Private Access: Intelligent Local Access preview enablement guidance updated

  The updated page explains how to enable Intelligent Local Access for Microsoft Entra Private Access and describes the capability as optimizing traffic flow for clients accessing Entra apps through private networks. It remains explicitly labeled preview in the supplied evidence; this is documentation for enablement, not evidence of general availability or a new service rollout.

  Internet Access: current known-limitations reference updated

  The Current Known Limitations page was updated, but the supplied extract does not identify a specific limitation or say whether one was added, removed, or changed. Administrators should therefore treat this as a review point for Internet Access deployments, not as evidence of a newly introduced restriction.

  Entra ID security guidance highlights Zero Trust Assessment automation

  The Configure Security guidance says manual checks can be time-consuming and error-prone and points administrators to Zero Trust Assessment for automated testing of security configuration items. This is a guidance clarification or reference update; no new policy enforcement or tenant-wide configuration change is established.
