We have often heard that this e-mail address is confusing and that users have trouble finding invitations that have been sent to them. To address these issues (and to make our external sharing mails consistent with our internal sharing mails), we will now be sending external sharing invitations via the Exchange Web Services. Sharing invitations will now come from a SharePoint owned \u0026quot;No Reply\u0026quot; address.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EWhat do I need to do to prepare for this change?\u003C\/h2\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENo changes are required at this time.
