FAQ

Do online (SaaS) customers need to do anything to receive 27.1 or 27.2?

Typically no—online tenants receive updates automatically within Microsoft’s release wave window. You can monitor update timing in the Admin Center and review the What’s New pages linked above for content changes.

We’re on-premises. Anything special to consider?

On-premises environments install cumulative updates manually. If new objects are introduced, a license refresh might be required. Always validate custom extensions and ISV apps against the build you plan to install.

Where can I find the full list of fixes?
