Microsoft has been adding a number of new Quick Views in Microsoft Teams to let you know when you’re named in a Teams conversation (Follow), when you’ve been mentioned (Mentions), or when you’ve forgotten to send a Teams chat (Drafts). That’s all well and good, but those new views take up room in the navigation pane.
