Your organization will soon be able to find out what extensions you have installed in Edge

Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it is favored by some organizations that have decided to lock in Microsoft as their preferred vendor. Although there are many services out there that allow IT admins to manage devices on their network, Microsoft is now making an important improvement to the platform it offers to manage Edge.

In a recent update on its public Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that IT admins will soon be able to leverage the Edge management service to find out which extensions are being installed in the browser by managed users. They will also be able to confirm or deny access requests to blocked extensions.

For those unaware, Edge management service is a Microsoft 365 offering that enables IT admins to configure the browser per their organization's requirements. These cloud-backed configurations can be applied through group policy. The ability to monitor and manage Edge extensions will be arriving in preview next month, followed by general availability in April 2026.

Additionally, in March 2026, Microsoft is also giving customers the ability to print calendar events physically through the new Outlook for Windows or the Teams calendar. Users will also have the option to print the attendee list. It's unclear how this helps customers outside of audit or legal scenarios, but there may be other use cases we are not aware of, obviously.

Next month will also see the arrival of two new features that will be loved particularly by IT admins. The first is the availability of dark mode for the SharePoint Admin Center, while the other relates to a visual revamp of the "Access Denied" experience of the Microsoft 365 platform. The Redmond tech giant seems quite proud of this change, touting "new illustrations, animations, and clearer messaging to help users quickly gain confidence and seamlessly continue their collaboration."
