Dear colleagues,  

Microsoft Whiteboard storage is being migrated from Azure to OneDrive, with full deprecation of Azure storage by February 2026. Microsoft Whiteboard users must complete the migration to retain access. 

• • Any user who launches an eligible Whiteboard client (Windows app, Microsoft Teams desktop/web, or web app) will automatically initiate a non-blocking migration of their Azure-stored whiteboards to OneDrive. 

• • Once migration is complete, users will see their boards listed under OneDrive. Boards that fail to migrate will appear in a separate Not migrated section in the board picker. 

What you can do to prepare 

Actions for users: 

• • Open the Whiteboard app to check if migration has started. 

• • Allow migration to complete and validate board contents. 

• • If any issues are found, please report them within 90 days of migration completion. After this period, migrated Azure-stored boards will be permanently deleted.
