Here’s a detailed overview of the upcoming change, its timeline, and alternative solutions.
Key Details of the Retirement
Timeline
- End Date: January 10, 2025
By this date, the Tags feature will be fully retired, and users will no longer be able to access or use it across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
Suggested Alternative: Favorites Feature
To minimize disruption to workflows, Microsoft recommends using the Favorites feature instead of Tags. This feature allows users to mark important content for easy access. While it operates differently from Tags, Favorites offers a simple and effective way to manage frequently used files and documents.
Benefits of Using Favorites
- Quick Access: Easily locate essential documents with fewer clicks.
- User-Friendly: Intuitive functionality for marking and unmarking items as Favorites.
- Cross-Platform Availability: Favorites is accessible across the same platforms as Tags, ensuring continuity.
