Plain-English summary

Microsoft says older work or school Whiteboards that are still stored in Azure and not migrated to OneDrive became read-only on Sep 25 and were set to be permanently deleted on Oct 16, 2026, with no recovery. That date has passed. Boards already moved to OneDrive are not part of this. Whiteboard itself is not going away for work or school accounts. If you still see boards in the "Not migrated" section, check Microsoft's page for current status.

Copy-paste prompt for any AI agent

Microsoft's support page says old work or school Microsoft Whiteboards still stored in Azure (not migrated to OneDrive) were set to be permanently deleted on October 16, 2026, a date that has now passed. Please help me check what this means for me:
1. Make a checklist for me and each person on my team: "Do you have old Whiteboards? Where are they listed (check the 'Not migrated' section)? Do we need them? Exported yes/no? Who exported? Where saved?"
2. Give me a short message I can send my team asking them to check by a date I choose.
3. Remind me to read Microsoft's migration page for the current steps (Settings, then Export image).
Do not delete or change anything. Do not ask me for passwords and do not log in to any account. Only list what to check and I will decide.
