Current Channel
Newest Microsoft 365 Apps features as soon as they're production‑ready
Current Channel is designed to deliver the fastest access to new features once Microsoft declares them ready for broad use. Unlike a strictly scheduled track, feature releases can appear multiple times per month.
- Feature cadence: As soon as available (no fixed day).
- Security updates: Monthly (Patch Tuesday) + out‑of‑band if required.
- Non‑security fixes: As needed (often 2–3 total releases / month).
- Staging depth: Minimal (broad validation occurs live).
- Ideal for: Pilot rings, power users, fast innovation teams.
- Not ideal for: Highly regulated / change‑averse environments.
- Typical use: First ring in a multi‑channel deployment strategy.
- Risk profile: Highest pace of change.
