MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You want to ensure that the 'Tasks by Planner and To Do' app is automatically pinned to the navigation bar for all users in your company. Which policy should you modify?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the distinction between App Setup Policy (pinning/installing apps) and App Permission Policy (allowing/blocking apps) — candidates confuse 'which apps are available' with 'which apps are pinned by default'.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
App Setup Policy
The App Setup Policy in Teams controls which apps are pinned to the app bar and which apps are installed by default for users. To automatically pin 'Tasks by Planner and To Do' to the navigation bar for all users, you modify the App Setup Policy and add the app as a pinned app. This policy is applied via policy assignment to users or groups.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
App Permission Policy
Why it's wrong here
App permission policies are used to define which apps are allowed or blocked for a user but do not control the visual layout of the Teams client. You would use this to make the Tasks app available, but it wouldn't force it to appear on the user's navigation bar.
- ✓
App Setup Policy
Why this is correct
App setup policies allow you to specify which apps are pinned to the Teams app bar (on the side for desktop, at the bottom for mobile). By editing the Global policy or a custom one, you can ensure the Tasks app is prominently displayed for all targeted users automatically.
- ✗
Teams Meeting Policy
Why it's wrong here
Meeting policies focus on the features and experience during an active meeting session, such as who can present or record. They have no control over the persistent navigation bar of the Teams application or the pinning of productivity apps like Planner and To Do for general use.
- ✗
Teams Messaging Policy
Why it's wrong here
Messaging policies govern chat-related features like the ability to use emojis, memes, or the ability to delete messages. They do not manage the application's interface layout or which apps are pinned to the user's sidebar, which is strictly the domain of the App Setup policy.
