Skills do not currently sync between Gemini and Workspace; plan any manual recreation. Migrated draft skills require review and activation.

This is a cloud execution option, not an update that makes those models run on your laptop.

Eligible existing subscriptions can continue while active and in good standing, but canceling or switching to a credit-based plan does not allow a return. This is plan guidance, not service closure.

Its release notes also say Run Everything runs agents without the sandbox unless permissions.json restricts that mode. These are different execution modes, not a blanket safety guarantee.

Explicit selections take precedence. API integrations can opt into a workspace-default fallback; this is not automatic for every integration. Check before use: Have the workspace owner review defaults before using connected workflows. Compare a small test with implicit defaults and explicit IQ selections, and inspect the API option separately.

Previously calculated values can remain visible, but recalculation returns #NAME?. Copilot in Excel's pane continues separately; this is not retirement of all Copilot features. Check before use: Work on a backup and locate COPILOT formulas before refreshing a report. Verify important cached results against their sources. Review a replacement workflow through the Copilot pane if available for your account, rather than assuming it is a drop-in formula replacement.

Folder sharing and new User Groups are scoped to Team plans; groups support presentation and folder sharing, not comments, Assign Slide or nested groups. Check before use: Inspect who can open a migrated folder and its presentations before adding client material. Check guest and group membership with a workspace owner, then test access using the intended recipient account. Do not assume an old folder name proves it is private or that every collaboration feature supports groups. Official source: https://www.beautiful.ai/product-updates.

This September transition is newly tracked here, not an October launch. Check before use: Back up unfinished work before migration. Check the selected repository, branch or worktree, execution location and permissions; do not assume conversation migration transfers uncommitted files. Verify workplace policy and secret access, and review and test changes before merging. Official source: https://docs.devin.ai/desktop/changelog.

This is a specific Analytics deployment update, not a claim about every Zoho product or account. Check before use: Confirm your edition and build, then inspect a known metric with a small dataset. Check filters, time windows, missing values, and source totals. Treat suggested drivers as hypotheses, not proof of causation, before making business decisions.

Users select Multi-language in language settings. The notice explicitly separates desktop coverage from mobile and watch support; this is a historical update newly tracked here. Check before use: Check support for your device and meeting languages, obtain required participant consent, and test a short non-sensitive conversation.

No exact closure day is supplied. This is a closure notice, not an instruction to export data from the discontinued service. Check before use: Review dependencies and connected-service permissions. Use only information or exports already retained independently; do not assume login, export or recovery remains available. Test replacement workflows before enabling real business actions.

This is an earlier release newly tracked here.

Team settings can override organization defaults. Turning auto-capture off does not prevent manual capture, and changes to auto-capture affect future meetings. Check before use: With your admin, inspect the effective team settings and any visibility locks before sensitive calls. Test a non-sensitive meeting and its audience. Do not treat automatic-capture controls as a blanket recording ban or assume a settings change stops a meeting already being recorded; follow participant-notice and workplace requirements.

Earlier recordings and shared links are no longer accessible, and those recordings cannot now be exported from Copilot. This concerns Podcasts, not the entire assistant. Check before use: Audit reading lists, training pages and handoffs for Copilot podcast links. Use retained source material or independently saved copies where permitted, and review any replacement summary. Do not promise that an old recording can still be downloaded or recovered.

Its announcement identifies reminders as the default, not automatic recording. This earlier release is newly tracked here.

Obtain required participant consent and follow workplace recording policy before enabling capture. Test reminders first, verify stop controls and sharing permissions, and disable capture for sensitive conversations.

Its current documentation describes support analysis, content-gap investigation, and proposed guidance changes for team review.

This is the effective date, not the notice publication date. The affected device integrations ended; this does not mean the IFTTT platform closed. Check before use: Identify affected Applets and test device behavior rather than assuming a routine still runs. TP-Link points to Smart Action in its apps; verify your device, region and required triggers before rebuilding. Check for duplicate actions and keep manual control available. Do not assume a replacement reproduces every IFTTT workflow. Official source: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/5154/.

Its legacy v0 search API was unaffected. This concerns API response metadata, not a shutdown of You.com or a change to every consumer search feature. Check before use: Check parsers, citation templates and stored-result migrations for a required authors field. Test a current response and handle missing authors explicitly. Verify attribution against the original source; do not fabricate an author or silently treat a domain name as one. Review the current schema before deploying an integration change.

This record uses the dated article, not a claim that Translation Flow first launched in July or is newly released in October.

The retired model is identified as svd. This is a model retirement, not closure of Leonardo AI. Check before use: Check saved video workflows and API model settings for svd before rerunning an old project. Leonardo points to Hailuo 2.3 as a replacement; verify current access, inputs, output behavior and cost rather than assuming identical results.

This gives editors a more selective cleanup workflow than relying on one processed mix. Check before use: Check current plan access, retain the original recording and test a short clip. Listen to the separated tracks and final mix for missing speech or unwanted artifacts.

The notice directs users needing help to its help page, Discord support channels or support email. It describes future work without giving a replacement launch date. This does not announce closure of Midjourney. Check before use: Update team onboarding links and old tutorials that send users to Rooms. Check current official channels before arranging a live session or collaboration workflow. Do not assume an old room link still provides support, or that a promised replacement has launched; avoid posting private client material in public help channels.

February 17, 2026 is the date displayed on that help page, not a verified start date for the restriction. This is a historical restriction rechecked today, not a new shutdown announcement. Check before use: Do not promise downloadable files or stems to a client based on older tutorials or a subscription alone. Verify current delivery options and applicable rights before starting paid work. A shareable Udio link is not a substitute for an export when the project needs local files; use only material you can lawfully deliver.

Its current migration guide, linked on our tool page, says there is no required switch deadline.
