explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you're managing a library, and you have two sections: one for all the books and another specifically for the mystery novels. Over time, the mystery section gets crowded, making it hard to find specific books. To solve this, you decide to move older mystery novels to a different section, where they can still be accessed and managed without cluttering the main mystery section.

This is similar to what's happening with the Microsoft 365 admin center and Teams apps. Microsoft is reorganizing how certain app versions are displayed. Teams apps with versions below 1.12 will no longer be visible in the Microsoft 365 admin center's Integrated apps view. However, these apps are still fully manageable in the Teams admin center, just like those older mystery novels are still available in the library.

For those who use the Microsoft 365 admin center to keep track of apps, it's like using a card catalog to find books. If you want to see all your apps in one place, you might consider updating them to version 1.12 or higher, much like updating the card catalog to include all the latest books. But there's no rush; you can choose when to do this.

In terms of compliance and user experience, nothing changes. It's like ensuring that all library books are still available to readers, regardless of where they're shelved. This update is about keeping things organized and easy to manage without impacting how people use the apps.
