As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance ShareGate Protect, we will retire the legacy management features on August 29, 2025. This transition aims to provide a more powerful, flexible, and intelligent governance experience tailored to the evolving needs of Microsoft 365 administrators.
Some features will remain and get moved elsewhere in ShareGate Protect, others will be temporarily unavailable and reinstated later this year, while a few are being removed permanently.
Here's a quick overview of the changes to come:

Inactivity and external sharing review policies will be unavailable temporarily after August 29.

Provisioning and the Teams app
Provisioning in ShareGate Protect and the Teams end-user app will no longer be available.
