- Changes to the end-user experience that you may want to share with your helpdesk staff or your end users. We provide typically 7 to 30 days notice of those changes and document them on the [What's new in Intune App UI](whats-new-app-ui.md). For something like a spelling error fix, we won't typically call out in documentation. But a change in the end-user enrollment experience is significant enough in the UI that we'll both post a message to customers in the Microsoft 365 Message center and link to the What's new in the Intune App UI so you are notified of what's changing and have time to evaluate and update your end-user guidance before the changes rolling out in production.

- Changes that require you to take action are called **Plan for Change** and typically provide about 30 days notice. In the Microsoft 365 Message Center the Category specifically says Plan for Change, and if we have an exact date for when the change is in production, we also put in an **Act By** date and that gives you a visual queue and an explanation mark.

- For most deprecations, we prefer to provide 90 days notice of that deprecation. For example, if we're no longer going to support a specific version of IE, our goal is to provide 90 days notice. However, deprecations do get complicated when it's another company announcing the deprecation. For example, a browser company provided notice that they would no longer support Silverlight with their latest build, so we let customers know we were dropping support of that browser, but our notification to customers under the 90-day period.

Finally, in the rare event there's any post-incident action needed to get your service back to normal or a large change that we deem potentially disruptive based on customer feedback, we will email the service administrators based on how your [Microsoft 365 communication preferences](/microsoft-365/admin/manage/change-address-contact-and-more) are set and whether you include a valid (and preferably work) email address.
