Documentation-only day: Workload ID cleanup guidance and External ID JIT migration documentation updated

16 December was a quiet Entra documentation day. All three recorded items were updates, with no new or removed entries and no Message Center announcements. The most consequential changes are procedural: the Workload ID service-principal article now includes deletion guidance, while the Microsoft Entra External ID Just-In-Time password migration article was revised. The supplied evidence does not show a feature launch, general-availability change, retirement, or changed service behavior.

• Workload ID · Developer

  Workload ID service-principal guidance adds an explicit cleanup step

  The updated Alert Service Principal article instructs administrators to delete the old application and object using PowerShell cmdlets. This is a procedural documentation change, not evidence of an automatic platform behavior change; administrators following the article should confirm the intended objects before executing the deletion.

• External ID · Authentication

  External ID JIT password migration guidance was revised while remaining in Preview

  The updated article explains migration of passwords from another identity provider to Microsoft Entra External ID through Just-In-Time migration. Its title still identifies the capability as Preview, so the record supports revised guidance rather than a claim of general availability or a new launch.
