How often the updates are released?
Answer
Since our use case for MS Teams Addin is very limited and the product is a matured one. Hence there may be a 1 or 2 updates each year. Generally, depends on Microsoft modifying Teams libraries or frameworks.
Q6. Could you please elaborate on what runs on Azure? Who manages the Azure environment?
Answer
- We have hosted the Prolaborate Macro in Azure Server, the account is owned by our team.
- Any minor change or new feature we develop will be published to Azure and via Azure server the new changes are pushed to the Prolaborate Macro on your team's account. The Macro is never installed on your local machine it is added to your MS Teams account.
- How ever if there is a major change in technology used for development or architecture, MS Teams will allow submission post review. We submit the app for review to MS Team Development Team. They will review and approve the Marco post that customers need to update themselves. This may happen once every 2 or 3 years.
