Editing Teams (section)

== History ==

=== Old Teams ===
Old Teams was in use from 2019 to the spring of 2022. During the summer, it was shut down and replaced with new Teams.

The main differences were the look (see the screenshot below,) and the layout of channels. In old teams, there was a building for all students, HS and MS combined, and then there were teams for each grade. The building for all students had a main channel as well as others, such as [[Hand Me That Stick!|HMTS]]. (RIP) Most of the activity happened either in the general channel of the combined building or the general channels of the grade teams. For example, [[THE RACE TO 10k]] happened in the 9th grade team, general channel.

=== New Teams ===
The new Teams was a change in a few different ways. First of all, it removed the mixed HS/MS/ES teams and channels. Now, the only place these two groups can interact are in special teams, such as the temporary team created every year for SEE, and in GCs. Secondly, it brought with it a new look. Emojis were now animated, and corners more rounded. Some liked the change, some didn't. The biggest outcry was against the separation of MS, ES, and HS. (See [[A New Era of Teams]])

=== (New) New Teams? ===
(The app update that everyone hates)

This wasn't a revamping of the teams format or layout, but just a Microsoft update to the teams app. I honestly don't really remember what changed, or when exactly it happened, but it made everything a lot more clunky and hard to navigate. Pretty much everyone hated it. It did eventually fix some bugs, though, like the crashes that would happen when getting a notification for the counting thread.<ref>See [[Lets Count]]</ref>
