MS-700 Manage Teams, Channels, Chats, and Apps Practice Question
Your organization requires that all new Teams created by users must automatically include a specific set of tabs and a standard channel structure. Which feature should you configure to achieve this requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the confusion between governance features — candidates pick naming policies or sensitivity labels because they sound like 'standards enforcement,' but only team templates actually provision channels and tabs at creation time.

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
✓
Team templates
Team templates in Microsoft Teams let administrators define a reusable structure — channels, tabs, apps, and settings — that is applied automatically whenever a user creates a new team from that template. By publishing a custom team template and setting it as the default (or restricting team creation to templates), the organization ensures every new team inherits the standard channel structure and tabs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Microsoft 365 group naming policies
Why it's wrong here
Naming policies enforce specific prefixes or suffixes on group display names and email addresses. They do not influence the internal structure, channel creation, or tab placement within the team itself. This feature is intended for identity governance and searchability rather than team workspace configuration.
- ✓
Team templates
Why this is correct
Team templates provide a predefined structure of channels and apps that are automatically provisioned when a user creates a new team. This ensures that every team starts with the required configuration, minimizing administrative overhead and guaranteeing that essential collaboration tools are immediately available to the members.
- ✗
Organization-wide teams
Why it's wrong here
Organization-wide teams automatically include all users in the tenant and keep the membership updated as people join or leave. While useful for company-wide communication, this feature does not define the tabs, channels, or internal architecture of the team, nor does it allow for custom templates.
- ✗
Sensitivity labels
Why it's wrong here
Sensitivity labels are used to enforce security policies, such as data encryption, access controls, and external sharing restrictions. They do not dictate the workspace layout, channel hierarchy, or tab configuration within a team. Their primary purpose is protecting content, not defining the functional workspace structure.
