6 January was a documentation-only Entra update: Identity Protection remediation guidance and app-consent policy documentation were refreshed.

The supplied record contains two Microsoft Learn updates—one for Microsoft Entra ID Protection and one for Entra ID app consent policies. No new capability, preview, general-availability release, retirement, changed service behavior, or Message Center notice is recorded. Treat these as documentation updates rather than product launches.

• ID Protection · Troubleshooting

  ID Protection remediation and unblock guidance updated

  The Microsoft Entra ID Protection troubleshooting guidance covers configuring user self-remediation and manually remediating risky users. The record does not identify a new remediation capability or a change to enforcement behavior, so this should be treated as an ordinary documentation update.

• Entra ID · Developer

  Entra app consent policy documentation updated

  The updated Entra ID guidance describes built-in app consent policies as consistent across tenants and not editable. It also explains their use with roles such as Application Administrator and Cloud Application Administrator, custom directory roles, and an organization's default consent policy. The evidence supports documentation clarification, not a change to consent-policy behavior.
