The March 2026 Modern Work Plan Comparison documents have been refreshed, with the exception of the Education flavour, which remains unchanged since December 2025. The first change is the renaming of Exchange Online Protection to “Built-in security Add-on for cloud mailboxes”. It’s a rather confusing name that inaccurately describes it and inconsistently appears under two other guises on the Microsoft websites and price lists.

There’s some updated housekeeping on retention policies, with the Purview Suites updated to correctly show their inclusion, mirroring recently updated Learn documentation. The latest PDFs for Enterprise, SMB, US Government, and Education sectors can be accessed in our searchable Licensing Guides Gallery: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery.
