[Compliance Considerations]
| Question | Answer |
| Does the change alter how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessed (such as documents, emails, chats, etc.)? | 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. |
