Direct effects for Operations**
Branded Footer Customization
If the branded footer feature is enabled without proper preparation, users may be confused by the new branding, especially if they are not informed about the change. This could lead to a lack of trust in the Copilot app, as users may not recognize the new footer and question its legitimacy.
