The Modern Work Plan Comparison documents are updated for July 2026.

Naturally, the main changes this month are due to the extra features which have been added to a range of licenses. These include Copilot Chat enhancements, the addition of Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 to Office 365 E3 and Microsoft 365 E3, an extra 50 GB mailbox storage for the SMB licences, and new Intune features for Microsoft 365 E3/E5 licenses. Advanced Threat Analytics was also removed this month, since it reached End of Support in January 2026.

There are July versions of the documents for Enterprise, SMB, Education, and US Government customers which you can find here: https://bit.ly/4hn2hS2. If you’re a subscriber, don’t forget that we help you navigate the (increasingly frequent) errors in these documents every month with our Cautionary Notes. You’ll find these using the one-click “Microsoft 365” filter in our subscriber-exclusive Licensing Guides Gallery, along with quick access to the documents and full change details: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery. If you’re a partner and prefer the Excel version, contact us from your work email address and we’ll send it right over: info@licensingschool.co.uk.
