The handoff

A focused queue of drafts, tasks, proposed meeting changes, and daily priorities. Email replies and calendar updates wait for approval; team-chat responses follow the review setting your team chooses.

Keep in mind

Email replies are presented for approval or kept as drafts. A calendar change happens only after approval. Team-chat replies can be posted directly or routed for review, so choose that setting deliberately.

Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
