What the notice says
Microsoft's text, with its sections, lists and tables; source markup removedWhat and why
Microsoft is introducing a simplified app enablement experience in Teams admin center. The new guided flow brings together key app management actions, including setting who can access an app, choosing who should have the app installed, reviewing and accepting required permissions, and allowing or blocking the app.
The flow adapts to the app’s current state and highlights steps that require attention, reducing the steps and navigation needed to manage app enablement.
