What is happening? Microsoft is ending support for Microsoft Publisher. Subscription versions of Publisher will no longer work after October 2026, at which time Publisher will be removed from managed Academic Support Unit Windows computers.
When is this happening? October 2026
What do I need to do? Review all Publisher files that are still needed and proactively convert them to PDF or Word before October 2026. After Publisher is removed, the files will not be easily viewable/editable.
Additional resources and support:
