+# Compliance features in Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview)

+> [!NOTE]

+> Microsoft Purview features work seamlessly with archived content. For example, you can apply retention hold on archived content without needing to unarchive it. Likewise, you can also archive content in retention hold without needing to move or delete it from retention scope.

+Archived SharePoint sites, just like active SharePoint sites, maintain a baseline level of data promises. These promises include the following considerations:

+- **Durability** ΓÇô All archived data is equally as durable as active SharePoint data.

+- **Security** ΓÇô Archived sites or data have the same level of security as active sites or data.

+- **Geo residence** ΓÇô All archived data stays within your geo compliance boundary.

+- **Microsoft EU data boundary** ΓÇô All archived data complies with the EU data boundary promise.

+The affect of Microsoft 365 Archive on compliance offerings includes the following elements:

+- **Data lifecycle management and records management** ΓÇô Archived sites still honor the retention and deletion periods from any retention policies or retention labels. For more information, see [How retention works with Microsoft 365 Archive](/purview/retention-policies-sharepoint#how-retention-works-with-microsoft-365-archive).

+- **eDiscovery** ΓÇô eDiscovery still finds all content even if archived. However, eDiscovery won't be able to directly reactivate located files. Before exporting or viewing content of an eDiscovery case, the SharePoint admin has to reactivate the relevant sites.

+- **Bring your own key (BYOK)** ΓÇô All archived content will comply with the BYOK promises, for any tenant who already uses the BYOK feature or enables it after archiving sites.

+- **Permissions and access policies** ΓÇô These settings and policies are retained on the site throughout the archive and reactivation lifecycle (that is, archiving the site and then reactivating doesn't change the application of permissions or related access policies).

+# End user experience in Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview)

+> [!NOTE]

+> This feature is currently in preview and subject to change. The feature is currently rolling out and might not yet be fully available to all organizations.

+End users aren't able to access or search for any content that has been archived. Whenever users try to access archived content, they see a message stating that the site has been archived.

+

+In Microsoft 365 Archive, admins have an option to set a custom URL where the users will be taken if they select **Request to reactivate** when they encounter archived content. As an admin, you can choose to send the end users to a form, ticketing system etc. This can take users to any place you choose, such as a form, a ticketing system, or other location. This custom URL can be set via a flag (``-ArchiveRedirectUrl``) in the Set-SPOTenant PowerShell cmdlet starting in version 16.0.23408.12000.

+For a multi-geo tenant, the URL needs to be set for each geo location.

+The **Request to reactivate** button won't be visible if a redirect URL hasn't been set.

+> [!NOTE]

+> This feature is currently in preview and subject to change. The feature is currently rolling out and might not yet be fully available to all organizations. Before you begin, read the [Microsoft 365 Archive preview terms and conditions](archive-preview-terms.md).

+#### What is the difference between Microsoft 365 Archive and SharePoint Advanced Management?

+- Microsoft 365 Archive gives the ability to archive a site in SharePoint.

+- Storage for archived sites is metered and charged at a $0.05/GB/month rate vs. the normal standard storage rate of $0.20/GB/month. For more information, see [Pricing model for Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview)](archive-pricing.md).

+- The site lifecycle management feature in SharePoint Advanced Management is a separate licensed offering that helps automate and orchestrate the movement of sites into the archive tier via admin-defined policies to remove manual operations. In other words, the site lifecycle management in SharePoint Advanced Management operates in conjunction with Microsoft 365 Archive.

+#### How does Azure Blob compare to Microsoft 365 Archive?

+Microsoft 365 Archive allows you to keep your data in place in SharePoint, providing the following benefits not possible when the data is migrated elsewhere:

+- Archiving happens very quickly, usually withing minutes, regardless of the amount or size of content being archived.

+- No need to manage data in a separate security and compliance domain, thereby allowing your security and compliance tooling to operate seamlesslyΓÇöincluding eDiscovery, retention policies, and more.

+- Admin search indexes remain intact.

+- Sites are archived and rehydrated without loss of metadata, security versioning, and more.

+#### Can content in legal hold be archived?

+Yes, nearly all Microsoft Purview features will continue to operate as normal.

+#### Is content in archived sites searchable?

+Admin-level search and Purview-based search will operate like normal. End-user search is not currently supported, but end-user search is on our roadmap.

+#### Can I archive at the site-level and file-level?

+Currently, only full-site archiving and reactivating is possible in this offering. File-level granular archiving support will be released later in 2024.

+#### WhatΓÇÖs the availability timing of Microsoft 365 Archive for Microsoft Government Community Cloud (GCC) customers?

+Standard GCC rollout times apply.

+# Manage Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview)

+> [!NOTE]

+> This feature is currently in preview and subject to change. The feature is currently rolling out and might not yet be fully available to all organizations.

+## Archive a site

+Global admins and SharePoint admins can archive both non-group connected sites and group-connected sites from the SharePoint admin center. Archiving group-connected sites will archive only the site, and the rest of the group will continue being active. As soon as a site is archived, it stops consuming storage from active storage quota, and the storage starts being counted towards Microsoft 365 Archive storage. (There might be a delay in the change in storage being reflected in the admin center.)

+To learn more about different archive states, see [Archive states in Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview)](archive-states.md).

+When a site is archived, compliance features such as eDiscovery and retention labels continue to be applied to the site.

+1. In the SharePoint admin center, go to [**Active sites**](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2185220), and sign in with an account that has [admin permissions](/sharepoint/sharepoint-admin-role) for your organization.

+ > [!NOTE]

+ > If you have Office 365 operated by 21Vianet (China), sign in to the [Microsoft 365 admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=850627), then browse to the SharePoint admin center and open the **Active sites** page.

+2. In the left column, select one or more sites.

+3. Select **Archive**, and to confirm, select **Archive**.

+4. Archived sites can be seen on the **Archived sites** page in the SharePoint admin center.

+ 

+ > [!NOTE]

+ > To archive a hub site, you first need to unregister it as a hub site. Archiving Microsoft Teams-connected sites with private or shared channel sites is not supported. Teams sites with standard channels are supported.

+## Manage archived sites

+Archived sites can be reactivated or deleted. Deletion of archived sites follows the same behavior as that of active sites; that is, a site doesn't need to be reactivated before being deleted. However, sites in the ΓÇ£ReactivatingΓÇ¥ state can't be deleted until reactivation completes.

+Admins can view details of the site, such as the URL, Archive Status, or Storage, from the **Archived sites** page.

+## Reactivate a site

+If there's a need to access the site content again, the sites need to be reactivated. After a site is archived, it stays in the ΓÇ£Recently ArchivedΓÇ¥ state for seven days. All reactivations from this state are free of cost and instantaneous. After seven days, the site enters the ΓÇ£ArchivedΓÇ¥ state. Reactivations might take up to 24 hours, and have an associated reactivation cost. To learn more about the costs and how pricing works, see [Pricing model](archive-pricing.md).

+After reactivation, the site will move back to the **Active sites** page. The site will resume its normal function, and the users will have the same access rights to the site and its content as they did before the site was archived. After reactivation is complete, the storage consumed by the site will accrue to your storage quota consumption.

+1. In the SharePoint admin center, go to [**Active sites**](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2185220), and sign in with an account that has [admin permissions](/sharepoint/sharepoint-admin-role) for your organization.

+ > [!NOTE]

+ > If you have Office 365 operated by 21Vianet (China), sign in to the [Microsoft 365 admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=850627), then browse to the SharePoint admin center and open the **Active sites** page.

+2. In the left column, select a site that needs to be reactivated.

+3. On the command bar, select **Archive**.

+4. On the **Archive** pane, select **Reactivate**.

+5. If you're trying to reactivate a site from ΓÇ£ArchivedΓÇ¥ state, you'll see a confirmation pop-up that shows an estimated price for reactivation. Select **Confirm** to reactivate. The site will enter the ΓÇ£ReactivatingΓÇ¥ state. It will move to active sites once reactivation is complete.

+ 

+When you reactivate a site, its permissions, lists, pages, files, folder-structure, site-level policies, and other metadata will revert to the prearchival state, except if files are deleted from archived sites. The only two exceptions are when files are deleted while the site is archived:

+- Content in the recycle bin expires naturally, and that expiration continues while archived.

+- Content marked to be deleted by retention policies will still be deleted as normal.

+Other than these two exceptions, you can expect the site to be unchanged.

+## Change the archive status of site via PowerShell

+You can also change the status of an archived site by using the PowerShell cmdlet [**Set-SPOSiteArchiveState**](/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/set-spositearchivestate?view=sharepoint-ps&preserve-view=true).

+description: Learn about how Microsoft 365 Archive can provide your with organization cost-effective storage solutions.

+# Overview of Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview)

+> [!NOTE]

+> This feature is currently in preview and subject to change. The feature is currently rolling out and might not yet be fully available to all organizations. Before you begin, read the [Microsoft 365 Archive preview terms and conditions](archive-preview-terms.md).

+Microsoft 365 Archive offers cost-effective storage for inactive SharePoint sites.

+Your organization might need to keep inactive or aging data for long periods of time in case you need to retrieve it later. You might prefer to store the data in SharePoint to simplify searchability, security, compliance, and data lifecycle management.

+Microsoft 365 Archive allows you to retain this inactive data by moving it into a cold storage tier (archive) within SharePoint. Any data archived with Microsoft 365 Archive will have the same searchability, security, and [compliance](archive-compliance.md) standards applied automatically at a much reduced cost.

+Some additional advantages of using Microsoft 365 Archive are:

+- **Speed** ΓÇô Ultra-fast archive of sites of any size and any number of sites.

+- **Cost savings** ΓÇô A lower list price on storage consumption beyond your license-allocated Microsoft 365 storage quota.

+- **Lossless metadata** ΓÇô A site will retain all of its metadata and permissions upon reactivation.

+- **Decluttering** ΓÇô Explicit separation between active and inactive content to help you manage your site's lifecycle.

+Microsoft 365 Archive, coupled with the Microsoft 365 search index and the [Microsoft Purview](/purview/purview) feature set, provides a powerful combination for your long-term data management needs at a price point that matches the lifecycle of your content. Microsoft 365 Archive is controlled in the SharePoint admin center by global or SharePoint admins.

+When a site is archived, it goes into an explicitly colder tier, no longer consumes a tenantΓÇÖs active storage quota, and instead drives Microsoft 365 Archive storage consumption. Being in this colder tier means the site is no longer accessible by anyone in the organization outside of Microsoft Purview or admin search.

+Archiving a site archives everything within it, including:

+- Document libraries and files

+- Lists and list data

+> [!NOTE]

+> Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview) is currently rolling out. More features will be rolled out as they become available.

+Administrators should notify the site owners and end users before a site is archived so they're aware that the site won't be accessible.

+## Preview limitations

+> [!NOTE]

+> These limitations are temporary during the preview. Unless otherwise stated, these limitations will be resolved when the product is available for general release.

+- As a part of the preview, tenants with more than 50,000 sites might face issues while trying to enumerate archived sites on the **Archived sites** page. Applicable enhancements are scheduled to roll out in the future. In this scenario, PowerShell can be used to more efficiently archive sites and manage archived content.

+- Currently, archived content exported via eDiscovery doesn't require site reactivation for exporting, but will require it before general release.

+- Currently, end user search results won't show any archived content.

+- Columns such as Archived Date and Archived By aren't currently available but are planned and will be rolled out when available.

+- For multi-geo tenants, while data residency requirements are honored, site moves aren't supported. Archived sites will need to be reactivated prior to any move.

+- Currently, tenant rename isn't supported on archived sites. Sites will need to be reactivated before a tenant rename is triggered.

+- Archiving a site that is currently enrolled in Microsoft 365 Backup will be blocked.

+- If you archive a site that has a library syncing to a device, that device's sync client will display errors after the site is archived. We recommend that you remove syncing libraries before archiving a site.

+# Pricing model for Microsoft 365 Archive (Preview)

+> [!NOTE]

+> This feature is currently in preview and subject to change. The feature is currently rolling out and might not yet be fully available to all organizations.

+Microsoft 365 Archive charges you for storage and reactivation.

+- **Storage consumption** that is charged at a per-GB monthly rate. This meter is only charged when archived storage plus active storage in SharePoint exceeds a tenantΓÇÖs included or licensed allocated SharePoint storage capacity limit. In other words, there's no additional storage cost for archived sites if the tenant hasn't yet consumed its already licensed Storage quota. For more information about storage quota limits, see [SharePoint limits](/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-description/sharepoint-online-limits).

+- **Site reactivation** that is charged at a per-GB rate. The reactivation fee is charged regardless of whether a tenant is above or below its SharePoint capacity limit and only if reactivation is executed more than seven days after the site was most recently put into an archive state. This seven-day grace period provides you with the opportunity to reverse an accidental archival without reaction costs.

+Monthly archive usage is calculated as the sum of the usage of all currently archived sites. Each siteΓÇÖs usage is equal to the site storage usage of that site, which can be seen on the site itself or from the Active sites page in the SharePoint admin center. The size of an archived site, and therefore the storage for which it's billed, can only change if the content in the site changes (for example, content naturally expiring in the recycle bin or a retention policy deleting content within the site directly from archive to the recycle bin).

+To see the pricing for Microsoft 365 Archive, see [Pay-as-you-go services and pricing for Microsoft Syntex](/microsoft-365/syntex/syntex-pay-as-you-go-services).

+### Cost savings if you archive with Microsoft 365 Archive

+The following table helps visualize the savings you'll realize by archiving content based on the frequency and percent of all archived content you're restoring. The key takeaway is that if you are not reactivating more than 30% of your data more than twice a year, you'll achieve most of the savings offered by the product.

+ Title: Navigation options for SharePoint

+- must-keep

+description: This article describes navigation options sites with SharePoint Publishing enabled in SharePoint.

+# Navigation options for SharePoint

+This article describes navigation options sites with SharePoint Publishing enabled in SharePoint. The choice and configuration of navigation significantly impacts the performance and scalability of sites in SharePoint. The SharePoint Publishing site template should only be used if necessary for a centralized portal and the publishing feature should only be enabled on specific sites and only when required as it can impact performance when used incorrectly.

+The first option, [**Structural navigation**](#using-structural-navigation-in-sharepoint), is the recommended navigation option in SharePoint for classic SharePoint sites, **if you turn on structural navigation caching for your site**. This navigation provider displays the navigation items below the current site, and optionally the current site and its siblings. It provides additional capabilities such as security trimming and site structure enumeration. If caching is disabled, this will negatively impact performance and scalability, and might be subject to throttling.

+The second option, [**Managed (Metadata) navigation**](#using-managed-navigation-and-metadata-in-sharepoint), represents navigation items using a Managed Metadata term set. We recommend that security trimming be disabled unless required. Security trimming is enabled as a secure-by-default setting for this navigation provider; however, many sites don't require the overhead of security trimming since navigation elements often are consistent for all users of the site. With the recommended configuration to disable security trimming, this navigation provider doesn't require enumerating site structure and is highly scalable with acceptable performance impact.

+## Pros and Cons of SharePoint navigation options

+|Cons:<br/><br/>**Impacts performance if caching is disabled**<br/>Subject to throttling<br/>|Cons:<br/><br/>Not automatically updated to reflect site structure<br/>**Impacts performance if security trimming is enabled** or when navigation structure is complex<br/>|Cons:<br/><br/>No ability to easily order sites<br/>Requires customization of the master page (technical skills required)<br/>|Cons:<br/><br/>Custom development is required<br/>External data source / cache stored is needed, e.g., Azure<br/>|

+The most appropriate option for your site depends on your site requirements and on your technical capability. If you want an easy-to-configure navigation provider that automatically updates when content is changed, then structural navigation [with caching enabled](https://support.office.com/article/structural-navigation-and-performance-f163053f-8eca-4b9c-b973-36b395093b43) is a good option.

+The [Page Diagnostics for SharePoint tool](./page-diagnostics-for-spo.md) is a browser extension for Microsoft Edge and Chrome browsers that analyzes both SharePoint modern portal and classic publishing site pages. This tool only works for SharePoint, and can't be used on a SharePoint system page.

+The tool generates a report for each analyzed page showing how the page performs against a pre-defined set of rules and displays detailed information when results for a test fall outside the baseline value. SharePoint administrators and designers can use the tool to troubleshoot performance issues to ensure that new pages are optimized prior to publishing.

+## Using structural navigation in SharePoint

+This is the out-of-the-box navigation used by default and is the most straightforward solution. It doesn't require any customization and a nontechnical user can also easily add items, hide items, and manage the navigation from the settings page. We recommend [enabling caching](https://support.office.com/article/structural-navigation-and-performance-f163053f-8eca-4b9c-b973-36b395093b43), otherwise there's an expensive performance trade-off.

+## Using managed navigation and metadata in SharePoint

+- Limit the number of navigation items to no more than 100 and no more than three levels deep

+Many sites don't require security trimming, as the navigation structure is often consistent for all users of the site. If security trimming is disabled and a link is added to navigation that not all users have access to, the link will still show but will lead to an access denied message. There's no risk of inadvertent access to the content.

+)

+- They're extremely scalable and performant because they can render with no resource cost (and refresh in the background after a timeout).

+There are other popular options to build **Custom navigation providers**. Review [Navigation solutions for SharePoint portals](/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/portal-navigation) for further guidance on building a Custom navigation provider.

+This approach involves creating a custom master page and replacing the out-of-the-box navigation code with custom HTML. Follow this procedure outlined in the following example to replace the navigation code in the file `seattle.html`. In this example, you'll open the `seattle.html` file and replace the whole element `id="DeltaTopNavigation"` with custom HTML code.

+4. Edit the code using a text editor and delete the code block in the following screenshot.<br/><br/>

+7. This HTML is the basic markup that will be populated by the search results returned from JavaScript code. You'll need to edit the code to change the value for var root = "site collection URL" as demonstrated in the following snippet:<br/>

+To summarize the code shown above in the `jQuery $(document).ready` function there's a `viewModel object` created and then the `loadNavigationNodes()` function on that object is called. This function either loads the previously built navigation hierarchy stored in the HTML5 local storage of the client browser or it calls the function `queryRemoteInterface()`.

+In the [example implementation](#example-replace-the-out-of-the-box-navigation-code-in-a-master-page), the sites are ordered in the same way as the out-of-the-box structural navigation; alphabetical order. If you wanted to deviate from this order, it would be more complicated to develop and maintain. Also, this approach requires you to deviate from the supported master pages. If the custom master page isn't maintained, your site will miss out on updates and improvements that Microsoft makes to the master pages.

+The current version of LinqJS doesn't contain the ByHierarchy method used in the above code and will break the navigation code. To fix this, add the following method to the Linq.js file before the line `Flatten: function ()`.

+The <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2024339" target="_blank">Microsoft 365 admin center</a> now shows **Network Insights and performance recommendations**, which are live performance metrics that are collected from your Microsoft 365 tenant. These metrics can only be viewed by administrative users in your tenant. Organizational network connectivity is designed per office location through a network egress location to the Internet. Microsoft 365 client connectivity uses that route and then across the Internet to Microsoft service front door servers. Identifying office locations is key to being able to show these network insights.

+An organization's administrator can opt in for location to be included in the network measurements used by this feature. This enables autodiscovery of the city where each office is located. Location information isn't precise and is obfuscated to 300 m and categorized by city. At the time when location is captured on a Windows device, the device shows a **Location In-Use** icon in the tool tray. Administrators might want to notify users of the appearance of this icon. With this processing, the location is treated as the organization office location and not the location of a person or a device. Network insights can be shown at these discovered office location cities. If you want higher accuracy in the recommendations, you can enter specific office location addresses. The network insights will be aggregated to those locations instead. Office locations can't be aggregated more closely than 300 meters.

+Informed network routing is a feature that integrates various Microsoft 365 applications with third party software defined network (SD-WAN) solutions in order to optimize and improve your network connectivity to Microsoft service endpoints. Optimized SD-WAN connectivity might result in improved user experiences and performance.

+Informed network routing provides a bi-directional data sharing channel between Microsoft and your SD-WAN solution. For every office location and Internet circuit that you configure, Microsoft periodically shares feedback with the SD-WAN solution on the quality of selected Microsoft 365 application experiences for network traffic associated with each specific Internet circuit. Using this feedback, the SD-WAN solution might then take smart recovery actions by routing Microsoft 365 application traffic through alternate available links.

+Quality of service degradations in the path of a particular Internet circuit such as increased latency or high packet loss are difficult to detect on a continuous basis. These degradations might be detrimental to user experiences for applications such as Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. Common symptoms include slow search of Exchange content, high transfer times when interacting with SharePoint or OneDrive document libraries, or poor call or meeting quality in Microsoft Teams.

+Informed network routing currently identifies traffic associated with a specific office location and Internet circuit based on the public IP address used to send network traffic to Microsoft.

+In the case where there isn't at least one network circuit providing direct Internet access at a branch location, informed network routing might not provide significant value.

+Enabling informed network routing requires multiple steps, some of which need to be performed within the configuration interface of your SD-WAN solution. Consult your SD-WAN solution vendor for guidance on how to initiate the process of enabling informed network routing within the SD-WAN solution before proceeding with configuration in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

+The final step in enabling informed network routing for your tenant is a confirmation page that displays the settings you've provided.

+Office locations might be autodetected as part of Microsoft's ongoing collection of network telemetry. As a result, some locations might be prepopulated in the admin center for your tenant.

+If these locations are accurate, you'll simply need to enable the informed network routing feature for each desired location and configure the Internet circuits and their public IP addresses.

+If the autodetected locations aren't accurate, or there are no locations prepopulated in your tenant, you'll have to add or edit locations manually to reflect an accurate topology of your organization.

+Data in this location is exchanged with the selected SD-WAN solution, and the location of the configured SD-WAN solution might not be within the same region. Customers should work with their SD-WAN solution provider to evaluate any data storage location requirements prior to production deployment.

+- [Use of a nonoptimal Exchange Online service front door](#use-of-a-nonoptimal-exchange-online-service-front-door)

+- [Use of a nonoptimal SharePoint service front door](#use-of-a-nonoptimal-sharepoint-service-front-door)

+These are tenant-level network insights that might be shown for the tenant:

+This insight displays if the network insights service detects that the distance from a given user location to the network egress is greater than 500 miles (800 kilometers). This might indicate that Microsoft 365 traffic is being backhauled to a common Internet edge device or proxy.

+This identifies that the distance between the office location and the network egress is more than 500 miles (800 kilometers). The office location is identified by an obfuscated client machine location and the network egress location is identified by using reverse IP Address to location databases. The office location might be inaccurate if Windows Location Services is disabled on machines. The network egress location might be inaccurate if the reverse IP address database information is inaccurate.

+## Use of a nonoptimal Exchange Online service front door

+Network backhaul might cause use of a nonoptimal Exchange Online service front door, in which case we recommend local and direct network egress. If you have implemented a remote DNS Recursive Resolver server, we recommend aligning the server configuration with the network egress.

+## Use of a nonoptimal SharePoint service front door

+This insight displays if the network insights service detects that users in a specific location aren't connecting to the closest SharePoint service front door.

+We identify the SharePoint service front door that the test client is connecting to, and then we compare the office location city to the expected SharePoint service front door for that city. If the test client service front door and the expected service front door match, we recommend connecting to a SharePoint service front door closer to the office location.

+Network backhaul before the corporate network egress could cause nonoptimal SharePoint service front door use. If so, try local and direct network egress. Nonoptimal SharePoint service front door use could also be caused by a remote DNS Recursive Resolver server, in which case we recommend aligning the DNS Recursive Resolver server with the network egress.

+This insight displays if the network insights service detects that bandwidth between the specific office location and SharePoint is less than 1 MBps.

+The download speed that a user can get from SharePoint and OneDrive service front doors is measured in megabytes per second (MBps). If this value is less than 1 MBps, then we provide this insight.

+To improve download speeds, your organization might need to increase bandwidth. Alternatively, network congestion might exist between computers at the office location and the SharePoint service front door. This condition restricts the download speed available to users even if sufficient bandwidth is available.

+Internet egress farther away from users than these locations reduces performance, and egress in China might cause high latency and connectivity issues due to cross-border congestion.

+Read about the network performance assessment calculation method at [Microsoft 365 network assessment](office-365-network-mac-perf-score.md).

+The reliability of Microsoft 365 services as experienced by the client is shown by the network availability metric. It's measured as the length of time that Exchange and SharePoint are working, and for Microsoft Teams as a proportion of calls that connected successfully both expressed as a percentage.

+Exchange and Sharepoint availability are the proportion of minutes without any major user errors out of the total user minutes. This is how it's calculated:

+By using telemetry data from the actual calls, Microsoft Teams availability is computed as a percentage of calls that failed compared to total calls. This is how it's calculated:

+* **Dominating customer** ΓÇô Even where there are five or more customers, there might be cases where a customer can be guessed due to the specific network provider having a large customer in a geographic area. To avoid this, we compare the population including the largest customer with the same population excluding the largest customer. Using a Cohen's D calculation, we discard results where the population difference is greater than 0.5. This means that where the largest customer has a medium to large Cohen's D effect on the aggregation result the result is blocked. A network provider simply needs to expand their geographic area where they have more customers to see results.

+We determine the distance from that location to the office location. This distance is shown as a network insight if the distance is greater than **500 miles** (800 kilometers) since that is likely to increase the TCP latency by more than 25 ms and might affect user experience.

+The in-use DNS Recursive Resolver is identified by making a specific DNS request and then asking the DNS Name Server for the IP Address that it received the same request from. This IP Address is the DNS Recursive Resolver and it's looked up in IP Address location databases to find the location. The distance from the user office location to the DNS Recursive Resolver server location is then calculated. This is shown as a network insight if the distance is greater than **500 miles** (800 kilometers).

+The location looked up from the network egress IP Address might not be accurate and this inaccuracy would lead to a false result from this test. To validate if this error is occurring for a specific IP Address, you can use publicly accessible network IP Address location web sites.

+The in-use Exchange service front door is identified in the same way that Outlook does this and we measure the network TCP latency from the user location to it. The TCP latency is shown and the in-use Exchange service front door is compared to the list of best service front doors for the current location. This is shown as a network insight if one of the best Exchange service front doors isn't in use.

+Not using one of the best Exchange service front doors could be caused by network backhaul before the corporate network egress in which case we recommend local and direct network egress. It could also be caused by use of a remote DNS recursive resolver server in which case we recommend aligning the DNS recursive resolver server with the network egress.

+### SharePoint

+This section shows test results related to SharePoint and OneDrive.

+During the 15-Mb download, we measure the TCP latency to the SharePoint service front door. This is the latency under load and it's compared to the latency when not under load. The increase in latency when under load is often attributable to consumer network device buffers being loaded (or bloated). A network insight is shown for any bloat of 100 ms or more.

+This tests for UDP connectivity to the Microsoft Teams service front door. If this is blocked, then Microsoft Teams might still work using TCP, but audio and video will be impaired. Read more about these UDP network measurements, which also apply to Microsoft Teams at [Media Quality and Network Connectivity Performance in Skype for Business Online](/skypeforbusiness/optimizing-your-network/media-quality-and-network-connectivity-performance).

+Connectivity might be blocked by a proxy server, a firewall, or another network security device on the enterprise network perimeter. Connectivity to TCP port 80 is tested with an HTTP request and connectivity to TCP port 443 is tested with an HTTPS request. If there's no response the FQDN is marked as a failure. If there's an HTTP response code 407 the FQDN is marked as a failure. If there's an HTTP response code 403, then we check the Server attribute of the response and if it appears to be a proxy server we mark this as a failure. You can simulate the tests we perform with the Windows command-line tool curl.exe.

+Where an TLS/SSL certificate is found that isn't provided by Microsoft, we show the FQDN for the test and the in-use TLS/SSL certificate owner. This TLS/SSL certificate owner might be a proxy server vendor, or it might be an enterprise self-signed certificate.

+In a CMD.EXE command prompt window, you can type the path and name of the executable to run it. The filename is Microsoft.Connectivity.Test.exe.

+In Windows Task Scheduler, you can add a task to launch the standalone test executable. You should specify the current working directory of the task to be where you have created the EULA accepted file since the executable blocks until the EULA is accepted. You can't interactively accept the EULA if the process is started in the background with no console.

+The commandline tool uses Windows Location Services to find the users City State Country/region information for determining some distances.

+You can [download and run the Assistant here](https://aka.ms/SaRA-NetworkConnectivity-Learn).

+Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant creates two files:

+The advanced test client uses SignalR to communicate to the web page. For this, you must ensure that TCP port 443 connectivity to **connectivity.service.signalr.net** is open. This URL isn't published in the <https://aka.ms/o365ip> because that connectivity isn't required for a Microsoft 365 client application user. If you're using an HTTP proxy for connection to FQDN connectivity.office.com and encounter the error **SignalR proxy configuration is different than origin.**, ensure connection to FQDN connectivity.service.signalr.net is allowed through the proxy. If a PAC file is being used to push proxy configuration settings, ensure the PAC file will return the same proxy settings for FQDN's connectivity.office.com and connectivity.service.signalr.net.

+The internet egress Location is the location where your network traffic exits your enterprise network and connects to the Internet. This is also identified as the location where you have a Network Address Translation (NAT) device and usually where you connect with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you see a long distance between your location and your internet egress location, then this might identify a significant WAN backhaul.

+To get started, turn on your location opt-in setting to automatically collect data from devices using Windows Location Services, go to your Locations list to add or upload location data, or run the Microsoft 365 network connectivity test from your office locations. These three options for office location information are detailed below. While network connectivity can be evaluated across the organization, any network design improvements need to be done for specific office locations. Network connectivity information is provided for each office location once those locations can be determined. There are three options for getting network assessments from your office locations:

+Measurement samples and office locations should start to appear 24 hours after these prerequisites have been met. Office locations discovered from Windows Location Services are aggregated per City and are retained in your view for 90 days after samples are no longer received. If you choose to switch to office locations added by the Administrator with LAN subnet information, you can disable Windows Location Services and hide all of the discovered locations. They'll be removed after the 90 day period.

+Make sure that you also add locations in the **locations page** or import those from a CSV file. The locations added must include your office LAN subnet information. In the dialog for adding or editing a location, you can specify a number of LAN subnets and a number of public egress IP subnets. The LAN subnets are required and one of them must match the LAN subnet attribute on a received network assessment for results to show up. We now support matching of all subnets under a given network when you add locations using LAN subnets. The main advantage with this is, you no longer need to define exact matches for LAN subnets when you add locations. For example, you added a location using /20 as the LAN subnet definition, in the network assessment we received a LAN subnet attribute containing /24 which is part of the supernet you defined using /20 and there's no other specific match for the /24 subnet, we'll map this network assessment to the location you added using the /20 LAN subnet definition.

+For this option, you need to identify a person at each location. Ask them to browse to [Microsoft 365 network connectivity test](https://connectivity.office.com) on a Windows machine on which they have administrative permissions. On the web site, they need to sign in to their Office 365 account for the same organization that you want to see the results. Then they should click **Run test**. During the test, there's a downloaded Connectivity test EXE. They need to open and execute that. Once the tests are completed, the test result is uploaded to the Admin Center.

+Enterprises can improve general user experience and secure their environment by following [Office 365 connectivity principles](./microsoft-365-network-connectivity-principles.md) and by using the Microsoft 365 Admin Center network connectivity feature. In most cases, following these general principles will have a significant positive impact on end-user latency, service reliability, and overall performance of Microsoft 365.

+You can view a table view of the locations where they can be filtered, sorted, and edited in the **Locations** tab. Locations with specific recommendations might also include an estimated potential latency improvement. This is calculated by taking the median latency of your organization users at the location and subtracting the median latency for all organizations in the same city.

+We classify network traffic logs as remote or onsite users and show their percentages in the user connection metrics section of the overview pane. For cities where you have remote users, you'll find the location specific remote network assessment score when you open that location's page. The locations list will have both office locations and remote worker cities, which can be filtered and sorted. We provide the remote worker assessment score, with points breakdown for Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams.

+Home user networking insights are aggregated and reported at a city level and limited to cities with a minimum of five remote employees. We aren't identifying individual employees working from home.

+For LAN subnet office identification, you need to add each location in advance. Instead of adding individual office locations in the **Locations** tab you can import them from a CSV file. You might be able to obtain this data from other places you have stored it such as the Call Quality Dashboard or Active Directory Sites and Services.

+1. Click the **Download current office locations (.csv)** link to export the current locations list to a CSV file, and save it to your local hard disk. This will provide you with a correctly formatted CSV with column headings to which you can add locations. You can leave the existing exported locations as they are; they won't be duplicated when you import the updated CSV. If you wish to change the address of an existing location, it's updated when you import the CSV. You can't change the address of a discovered city.

+6. If there are no errors in the file, you'll see the message: _Your file test.tsv is uploaded and ready. Select **Import** to upload your information._

+### What role is needed to access Network Connectivity in Microsoft 365 Admin Center?

+You'll need the Network Administrator or Global Administrator role.

+The internet egress location is the location where your network traffic exits your enterprise network and connects to the Internet. This is also identified as the location where you have a Network Address Translation (NAT) device and usually where you connect with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you see a long distance between your location and your internet egress location, this might indicate a significant WAN backhaul.

+You require a license that provides access to the Microsoft 365 admin center.

+A very low network assessment value suggests that Microsoft 365 clients will have significant problems connecting to the tenant or maintaining a responsive user experience. A high value indicates a properly configured network with few ongoing performance issues. A value of 80% represents a healthy baseline, above which you shouldn't expect to receive regular user complaints about Microsoft 365 connectivity or responsiveness due to network performance. As iterative network connectivity improvements are made, this value increases along with user experience.

+| 40 | Users might experience issues |

+| 20 | Users might complain |

+We show a network assessment value for the whole Microsoft 365 tenant on the network performance overview page. This value is a weighted average of the network assessments for all office locations. There's also a specific network assessment value for each detected office location on that location's summary page.

+For Exchange Online, the TCP latency from the client machine to the Exchange service front door is measured. This latency can be impacted by the distance the network travels over the customers LAN and WAN. It can also be impacted by network intermediary devices or services, which delay the connectivity or cause packets to be resent. And it's impacted by how far away the nearest Exchange service front door is. The median (also known as the 50th percentile or P50 measure) is taken for all measurements over the previous three days.

+| TCP Latency | Points |

+| :- | :-- |

+## SharePoint

+For SharePoint the download speed available for a user to access a document from SharePoint or OneDrive is measured. This can be impacted by the bandwidth available on network circuits between the client machine and Microsoft's network. It's also often impacted by network congestion that exists in bottlenecks in complex network devices or in poor coverage Wi-Fi areas. The download speed is measured in megabytes per second, which is approximately one tenth of a circuit's rated megabits per second. The MegaByte per second unit is helpful because you can directly see what size file can be downloaded in 1 second. The 25th percentile (also known as the P25 measure) is taken for all measurements over the previous three days. This 25th percentile helps reduce the impact of varying congestion over time.

+The SharePoint assessment is made using the following table. Any download speed number between the thresholds are assigned points linearly within the band.

+| Download speed | Points |

+| :-- | :-- |

+| 20 MBps or more | 100 |

+| 14 MBps | 80 |

+| 8 MBps | 60 |

+| 4 MBps | 40 |

+| 2 MBps | 20 |

+| 0 MBps | 0 |

+Network test sampling doesn't include user or device identities and hence the size of offices and number of users in them is estimated. We use the number of test results from Exchange tests and the number of tests from SharePoint tests to do this. If no samples are received for the office location, then summary assessment information is still shown for up to 60 days but detailed information isn't shown, including the estimated number of users.
