General Availability (GCC): We will begin rolling out on late June 2025 (previously early June) and expect to complete by late July 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Users will now understand that their event is being updated when receiving event related emails, when applicable.

If the user has already RSVP’d to an event, and the organizer makes an update to the title, subject, or location, the email update will show “Event Updated” and the updated location (if applicable). Previously, the email update would show the event time and not explain that the event has been updated. This feature will not affect events that the user has not responded to and will not affect event updates where the organizer changes the time. 

New Experience:

Old Experience: If an organizer updates the title, location, or description of an event that the user has already responded to, the email update will only display the event time. 

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
