• Organization Trust Score for apps and agents: Today, IT admins manually review trust data for Teams apps and agents in the Teams admin center to ensure they meet organizational security, privacy, and compliance standards. This feature introduces a scalable, automated evaluation process. Admins can define their organization’s trust requirements once, and the system will automatically assess each app and agent—generating a Trust Score and detailed evaluation report tailored to those requirements. This enables faster, more consistent decision-making by clearly identifying which apps and agents meet the organization’s standards and where further review is needed.

• Easily find unsent drafts: This features enables the use of the Drafts quick view to easily find, edit, and send draft messages.

• Simplified controls to manage external collaboration settings in Teams: This feature enables admins to use simple controls to manage external collaboration in teams. Admins have access to a new overview page in the Teams Admin Center under the external collaboration section. This page allows admins to review and modify their organization's external collaboration settings. To make changes, admins can use a guided flow and either select the open or controlled preset modes, or choose to customize the settings.
