How to manage the visibility of Microsoft 365 groups in the NEW Discover Groups page of Outlook

The new Groups experience will become the default groups experience in Microsoft Outlook on the web and new Outlook for Windows.

Outlook now has a new home for Microsoft 365 Groups - one central destination for users to connect, communicate, and collaborate with their teams. This new Groups experience includes the following benefits: 

• New Group Home: Users can now stay updated on their groups, including recent files across the groups, and quickly access frequently used groups and find new ones based on their interests. 
• Users can find quick links to get to files, emails, events, and member management for Groups from the Groups Home itself. 
• Once inside a specific Group, users can create, consume, and share information related to a group, as well as manage events and members efficiently in fewer clicks. 
• Users can find recommended actions including member approval and storage management across the Groups Home 

The hideFromAddressLists and hideFromOutlookClients properties are used to control the visibility of Microsoft 365 Groups. Here's a brief overview of what each property does:

hideFromAddressLists: When set to True, this property hides the group from the Global Address List (GAL). When set to False, the group will be visible in the GAL.

hideFromOutlookClients: When set to True, this property hides the group from the Outlook left-hand navigation and prevents the group name from resolving during message creation. It also sets hideFromAddressLists to True. When set to False, it makes the group visible in Outlook and the GAL.

These properties can be managed via the Microsoft Graph API, providing more flexibility for customization through Power Automate and third-party applications.
