Applied Skill Asssessment is currently undergoing maintenance. When will it be available?

The exact date when the Applied Skills assessment “Prepare security and compliance to support Microsoft 365 Copilot” will return from maintenance is not published.

Current guidance in the available documentation is:

• The list of currently available Microsoft Applied Skills assessments is maintained on the Microsoft Applied Skills site and in the sweepstakes official collection. When an assessment is under maintenance or retired, it will not appear as available there.
• Retired or unavailable Applied Skills assessments are not given public reactivation dates; only assessments scheduled to retire in the next 12 months are listed, and that list currently does not include this specific assessment.

To see when it becomes available again, periodically check:

1. The Microsoft Applied Skills homepage: Microsoft Applied Skills
2. The official collection of currently available assessments: official collection

When the maintenance is complete and the lab is re-enabled, it will reappear as an available Applied Skills assessment in those locations.
