Admins can now view a per-policy coverage report for auto-labeling policies, showing labeled and unlabeled files and their correlation with the latest simulation run.
For each enforced auto-labeling policy, admins can view how files processed during enforcement correlate to the latest simulation run. The per-policy coverage report shows volumes of files that have been labeled or are not yet labeled, and whether those files were included in the last simulation snapshot. This helps admins understand enforcement progress for a specific policy against the data state captured during simulation, while also identifying files that were not found in the simulation snapshot but were processed during enforcement.

Dynamics 365 Project Operations will extend date-effective price overrides to expense category and material prices, allowing administrators to manage all three price types in one place. This feature is expected to be generally available in March 2027.
What you should do

Why: This change may need administrator attention depending on how your environment is configured.
Project Operations price lists support three price types — role, expense category, and product/material — but only role prices currently support date-effective overrides. This feature extends date-effective price overrides to expense category and material prices, so you can schedule a future or time-bound price change for a category or material the same way you do for a role, without creating a separate, context-specific price list. The system honors the override when it prices a transaction, so the effective price reflects the override in force on the transaction date. The feature also aligns…
