The default file sharing settings in Microsoft 365 apps, including SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams, are changing. Effective January 2025, when sharing a file you will be prompted to add specific people.
The previous default – “People in University of Vermont” – was convenient but resulted in some content being shared more widely than intended. As Microsoft improves the availability and discoverability of ̽̽ data, adjusting this default is important in ensuring content is shared only with intended recipients.
Only the default permissions are changing. You can still share with all ̽̽ affiliates, people with existing access, or specific individuals inside and outside ̽̽.
For additional information about this change, please see the ETS Knowledge Base article Microsoft 365 – Default Sharing Settings.
