Day in brief
Authentication Methods Policy audit logs will change in April; 2 April otherwise is documentation-led
The clearest product-behavior update is a Microsoft Entra ID change to Authentication Methods Policy Update audit logs: records will show only changed properties with their old and new values, with worldwide rollout beginning in April 2026. The remaining material is largely documentation clarification or page removal across ID Governance, Entra ID, and Global Secure Access. The supplied evidence does not establish a new feature launch, GA or preview transition, or confirmed capability retirement.
- Changed behavior: Authentication Methods Policy audit logs will show only changed properties
Entra ID · AuthenticationMicrosoft Entra ID will change these audit-log records so they contain only changed properties with their old and new values. Rollout begins worldwide in April 2026. Event names and policy enforcement do not change, but automated log-processing logic may need review.
- Access Reviews guidance clarifies halfway-point reminders
ID Governance · GovernanceThe updated Create Access Review page documents a Reminders option that sends reminders for in-progress reviews to all reviewers halfway through the review, including reviewers who have already finished. This is an ordinary documentation clarification; the evidence does not establish a new feature or runtime behavior change.
- Updated ID Governance overview documents on-premises role-model migration
ID Governance · FundamentalsThe overview directs organizations that previously used an on-premises identity governance product to guidance for migrating their organizational role model to Microsoft Entra ID Governance. This clarifies a documented migration path rather than announcing a new migration capability or availability milestone.
- Access Review Agent pages were removed, but retirement is unconfirmedID Governance · Governance
The Learn pages Access Review Agent and Access Review Agent Logs Metrics are marked Removed. The supplied evidence confirms page removal only; it does not say that the agent or related logs and metrics capability was retired, replaced, or made unavailable.
