Microsoft is retiring its Microsoft Publisher feature, although it is giving users plenty of warning. 

“In October 2026, Microsoft Publisher will reach its end of life,” Microsoft writes on its support site. “After that time, it will no longer be included in Microsoft 365 and existing on-premises suites will no longer be supported. Until then, support for Publisher will continue and users can expect the same experience as today.”

Microsoft Publisher can be used for creating content in a variety of formats. 

Microsoft Users can find templates in other Microsoft 365 apps like Word and PowerPoint. 

“As we look ahead to the retirement of Microsoft Publisher, we are exploring modern ways to achieve common Publisher scenarios across applications like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Designer,” Microsoft continues.”We will update as we have more to share.”
