What's new for Microsoft partners: October 2026 edition
🤖 Microsoft’s October roundup brings FY27 readiness resources into one place: MCAPS Start and GTM Kickoff recordings, partner benefits, Copilot, marketing, Marketplace and operations updates.
💰 It also points teams to the compliance training gallery in the Partner Skilling Hub, covering deal execution, discount transparency and global trade compliance, and a five-part co-sell execution video series.
✅ The practical value for partner leaders is coordination: sales, delivery, marketing and operations can work from the same set of Microsoft priorities.
💡 This is a collection of updates and resources, rather than a single product release.
