explanation for non-techies**

The Microsoft 365 admin center is updating its usage reports to give organizations a clearer picture of how different apps are being used across platforms like Teams, Outlook, and others. Imagine this like a detailed dashboard in a car. Previously, you might have had a simple speedometer, but now you have a full digital display showing not just speed, but also fuel efficiency, engine performance, and more. This helps you understand how the car is running and what might need attention.

Similarly, the new Integrated Apps usage report is like this enhanced dashboard for your organization's apps. It provides insights into how different apps are being used, categorized by who created them (like apps developed internally, by Microsoft partners, or by Microsoft itself), where they are being used (like on a desktop, mobile, or web), and in which host product (such as Teams or Outlook). This is akin to knowing not just how fast you're going, but also where you're driving and what kind of terrain you're on.

The report will have two main sections: App Usage and User Activity. Think of App Usage as understanding how often the car is driven and for how long, while User Activity is like knowing who is driving and how they are using the car. This level of detail can help managers and IT staff make informed decisions about which apps are beneficial and which might need more support or even retirement.

Overall, these changes are designed to provide a more comprehensive view of app usage, helping organizations optimize their resources and improve productivity.
