- Microsoft Publisher will reach end of life in October 2026, after which it will no longer be included in Microsoft 365 or supported for on-premises suites.
- Existing Publisher files should be converted to another format, like PDF or Word, before October 2026 to retain access and editability.
- Common Publisher features, such as creating branded templates and business cards, are available in other Microsoft 365 apps like Word and PowerPoint.
- Users can convert Publisher files to PDF manually via File > Save As, or automate the process using a provided PowerShell script for bulk conversions.
- After retirement, Publisher files cannot be opened or edited in Microsoft 365, but perpetual license holders can still use the app without support.
