Assessment Reasoning
The update changes the admin configuration flow for Auto Attendant and Call Queue in the Teams admin center. There is no functional change to Voice apps or end-user behaviour, so user impact remains minimal. Admins should review the new UI and update training or documentation, but no immediate action or configuration is required. Urgency is moderate because rollout is mostly complete worldwide with only minor regions pending.
