Compliance Considerations
Question: Does the change alter how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessed (such as documents, emails, chats, etc.)?
Answer: Yes. The update to PowerPoint Live functionality may affect how presentation content is synchronized and rendered across Teams clients, but it does not introduce new data storage or retention changes.
