Like any cloud service, the Azure portal itself also gets functionality updates and changes. So how do you keep up with what’s new?

The Azure portal product team maintain a blog where, on a monthly basis, they post a summary of what’s in the latest update. Visit the Azure portal blog and follow them for notifications via Tech Community or via RSS feed.
