1. Shorter Inactivity Window Site owners will now receive email notifications when no activity is detected on their SharePoint site for 6 months (reduced from 14 months). These monthly reminders come from noreplySharePoint@uwaterloo.ca and prompt owners to decide whether to keep or delete the site.
