Office baseline reference now lists digitally signed macros outside the default block

This was a two-item documentation update day with one meaningful Intune setting clarification and one Configuration Manager lifecycle notice. The Ref V2 Office Settings reference changes its documented macro baseline default, while Configuration Manager records a future deprecation path for its Microsoft Connected Cache integration. No release date or Message Center announcement was supplied.

  Ref V2 Office Settings changes the documented macro baseline default

  The Intune reference changes the baseline default from “Disable all with notification” to “Disable all except digitally signed macros.” This is a documentation change; the supplied evidence does not establish that an existing tenant policy changed automatically.

  Configuration Manager records future deprecation of integrated Microsoft Connected Cache

  The updated page says Microsoft Connected Cache integration in Configuration Manager will be deprecated in a future Configuration Manager release. After deprecation, no further feature development or updates will be provided for MCC within Configuration Manager, and customers should begin transitioning to the standalone version.
