[What and why]
To keep the Microsoft 365 suite header organized and reduce visual clutter, some actions currently displayed directly in the suite header will move to the More (...) menu. This update improves discoverability of additional actions while preserving existing functionality.
The Settings and My Day actions will continue to be available and can be accessed from the More (...) menu. We are also adding the Sync button to that menu. This change does not remove any capabilities. It only changes where certain actions are accessed.
