MS Major update Announcement: New My Apps and My Account Portal Experiences

Based on customer feedback and votes Microsoft planned for developing a new design for My Apps portal, and right now this portal is available for all customer to migrate their users and start experiencing the new portal before automatically switched over on July 20th 2020.

Please note that the updated My Apps and My Account offer the same functionality as the current experiences, but with an improved user interface on top of new capabilities to enable your users to be productive.

How does this affect me?

If your organization’s users are using the current Apps experience for app launching or Profile for account management, you should notify them of the upcoming change. Additionally, we recommend you turn on the new My Apps experience in the Azure portal as soon as possible to give users the opportunity to try out the updated user interface. Turning on the new My Apps experience will allow your users to access the new My Account experience from My Apps.On July 20th 2020, users will no longer be able to access the current Apps or Profile experiences and will be automatically redirected to the updated My Apps and My Account experiences.

What do I need to do to prepare for this change?

We recommend you migrate your users to the updated experiences prior to the July date. Please note that you can do so via staged rollout by allowing a certain group of users to access the updated experiences prior to migrating all users. If you’d like to provide additional guidance to your users about this update, we hope you find the following resources helpful.
