Direct effects for Operations**
Automatic Email Footer Implementation
New required footers will be automatically added to emails, which may lead to confusion among users who are not aware of the change, potentially affecting communication clarity.

Branding and Privacy Statement Configuration
If organizations have not configured their logo and privacy statement, the default Microsoft branding will be used, which may not align with the organization's identity and could lead to trust issues with recipients.

Potential Duplication of Information
Internal communicators may have manually added footers or privacy links, leading to duplication and inconsistency in email communications if they are not informed of the automatic footer change.
