What
: Simplified our
AMP documentation
by removing outdated references to the AMP viewer, AMP Cache, and signed exchange.
Why
: Starting today, Google Search is updating how it connects users to AMP pages,
and will now take users directly to the publisher's AMP host pages. This change simplifies
and reduces maintenance efforts for publishers who are creating AMP content, as they no
longer need to update the AMP cache or configure signed exchanges. AMP content will
continue to rank just like any other web page.

Enable watermarks for AI-generated content for Microsoft 365 Copilot

If you set this policy to Disabled or Not configured, a visual or audio watermark isn't added.
This policy doesn't apply to images. Instead, your users will be able to turn on watermarks for images by going to Settings & Privacy > Privacy > Data options at
https://myaccount.microsoft.com
