New features
Dual-pane sidebar: core rail and contextual panel (PF) Encore OS replaces the single four-mode sidebar with a persistent core rail plus a contextual panel. The 56px rail is always visible on the left and lists the cores you have access to, plus Dashboard, Inbox, Settings, theme toggle, and your avatar. The 256px panel to its right shows the active core’s nav (sub-modules render as inline accordions) or a Platform Home panel when no core is active. Toggle the panel open and closed with ⌘B (Ctrl+B on Windows); the rail stays put. Hovering a rail icon shows a flyout peek of that core’s nav without leaving your current page.- Per-module color. The active core’s icon, ring, and panel header pick up that module’s color token, so it’s clear at a glance which core you’re in.
- Workspaces moved to the panel header. The workspace switcher is now the panel-header dropdown — the old
in-workspacefull-sidebar swap is retired. Pick a workspace and the panel re-composes; the rail stays put. See Workspaces. - Slimmer top bar. The desktop header drops the module switcher and user menu (both now live on the rail) and keeps breadcrumbs, global search, and notifications.
- Deep-link parity. Routing to
/workspace/:idopens directly into the right workspace on first paint — no more brief flash of the global sidebar.
entra-provision-user creates a new mailbox, it resolves the employee’s highest-priority active role and assigns the mapped SKU; unmapped roles fall back to the org default. Lookup failures degrade to the default so provisioning is never blocked. Use this to give clinicians, administrators, and house staff different Microsoft 365 plans. See Entra ID.
Admin consent status check (PF)
A new Admin Consent Status card on the Entra General tab shows a deterministic diff of granted versus required Microsoft Graph permissions. Select Check permissions to inspect every scope with a required or optional badge, and Grant consent to open a fresh tenant-wide consent URL when something is missing. Use it to debug provisioning failures or to confirm consent after a Graph permission catalog change. See Entra ID.
