The Modern Work Plan Comparison documents are (mostly) updated for October 2026.
The main changes this month relate to the recently launched Microsoft 365 G7 for US Government, alongside some strengthening of the AI and Agent sections across the documents. Despite the launch of Microsoft 365 A7, the Education flavour of the document is nowhere to be seen, with the July version still the most current.

Copilot Studio Licensing Guide – September 2026
The Microsoft Copilot Studio Licensing Guide has been updated (three times!) for September 2026.
App building is the key focus this month, matching the updates found in the Copilot Credits Guide. This new feature in Paid Public Preview lets you create Apps in addition to the existing Workflow and Agent capabilities in Copilot Studio. The third version of the guide features an updated term for the Microsoft-hosted cloud infrastructure, with the renaming of “Microsoft-managed host” to “Copilot Managed Runtime Host”.

Agent 365 FAQs
Microsoft’s Agent 365 FAQs are updated again, to coincide with the launch on 1 May, 2026.
As far as changes go, a couple of smaller questions are deleted, along with all references to “OBO agents”, and there are 3 new questions about Windows 365 for Agents added.
Find this updated document here: https://bit.ly/4eF2nWb or, if you’re a subscriber, get the document and the associated “What’s New” and “Cautionary Notes” details in our Licensing Guides Gallery: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery.
Software Assurance resources
We’ve uncovered some useful and updated Software Assurance resources.
The Program Guide update includes typo and formatting corrections, while cleaning up (some!) references to the obsolete Windows To Go benefit. However, many of the previous Cautionary Notes are still lurking. The FAQs document features general Software Assurance questions and more specific benefits like the Workplace Discount Program and Flexible Virtualization Benefit.
Exclusively for subscribers, our Licensing Guides Gallery (https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery) outlines all details of the changes to be aware (and wary) of.
