When this will happen:

Microsoft will begin rolling out this feature in mid-October (previously mid-September) and expect to complete rollout by late March (previously mid-February).

How this will affect your organization:

There is no impact to your organization. This feature will be delivered as a user interface update in the form of an additional column in My Files list view with activity information related to files (e.g., file shared, user comment, @mentions).

What you need to do to prepare:

There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
