This may seem like a small thing, but actually it’s a big, super-requested ability that has not existed before now. Our old Docs system had the ability to subscribe to page changes through an RSS feed. Our newest Docs system (learn.microsoft.com) does not. In one sense, we moved our Docs forward and making them better with quicker updates, but in another we moved back in time by not offering customers the ability to monitor page changes.
If you happened to you watch our Microsoft Security Insights show live on Wednesday with Yuri Diogenes, you heard it there first. But in case you missed that huge announcement, the Defender for Cloud What’s New/Release Notes page now has its very own RSS page.
You can get notified when this page is updated by copying and pasting the following URL into your favorite feed reader:
https://aka.ms/mdc/rss
Unfortunately, this does not mean there’s RSS feeds sitewide on learn.microsoft.com now. I’m crossing my fingers (and you should, too) that the other pages, like the What’s New for Microsoft Sentinel, also get this capability because for now, the only way to monitor this page is to use a Playbook, an HTTP trigger and a Workbook.

Incidentally, this blog post was originally titled: Defender for Cloud is the First Learn Doc to Get Its Own RSS Feed, but I was notified by one of our fabulous content creators, David Curwin, that it is indeed, not the first. In fact, David is the one that added the RSS functionality. David supplied the following links that also have their own RSS feeds:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/whats-new
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-cloud-apps/release-notes
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender/whats-new?view=o365-worldwide
