Learning new Microsoft Office tricks in "just a minute"
If you’ve used Microsoft Teams for any length of time, you know your list of chats can grow pretty long in a relatively short period of time. Trying to scroll through the list of chat to find one that you really want to look at can be a pain. Now, Microsoft Teams will let you delete chats in your chat list, and it only affects the chat on your own Teams client. Here’s how that works…
This is a change that I’ve been waiting *months* for! You can now type a message in a Teams chat and choose to send it at a later date!

But… it can be really hard to wade through the mix of things you have and haven’t yet read.
