Microsoft Is Retiring These Tools in 2026 (What to Do Now)

Are you ready for the upcoming Microsoft 365 retirements? This video highlights critical dates and changes for 2026, including the retirement of SharePoint 2013 Workflows and SharePoint Designer 2013. We’ll discuss the impact on your business processes and why migrating to modern alternatives like Power Automate is essential for a seamless digital workplace. Planning now will help you navigate these changes and maintain efficient workflow automation within your M365 environment.

In this video, I walk through the most important Microsoft retirements and end-of-support deadlines you need to be aware of, explain what “retirement” vs “end of support” actually means, and outline what you should do now to reduce risk and avoid business disruption.

These changes especially impact organizations still relying on legacy tools from the 2010–2016 era — which many businesses have quietly been “set and forgotten” for years.

Key Microsoft 365 retirements covered in this video:

April 2, 2026

SharePoint 2013 workflows will stop running entirely
SharePoint Add-ins will stop working

July 14, 2026

SharePoint Designer 2013: End of support
InfoPath 2013: End of support

October 2026

Office 2021 apps: End of support

By end of 2026

Dynamics 365 Mixed Reality tools: End of support

What we cover:

Why Microsoft retirements matter for business continuity
Retirement vs end of support (and why the difference matters)
The real-world risks of unsupported tools
Which tools are most commonly still in use
Practical modernization paths (Power Automate, Power Apps, SPFx, Microsoft 365 Apps)
Why planning now matters — even if things appear to “still work”

If you’re using SharePoint workflows, InfoPath forms, SharePoint Designer, or Office 2021, this is something you should not ignore.

Tip: Keep an eye on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and Microsoft’s retirement announcements so you’re not caught off guard.
