**Question:** Does this change the existing functionality of sidecars?

**Answer:** Before the Teams application update to 1449/1.0.94.2024101709, users were able to add contacts to sidecars if the account was marked as a Favorite, speed dial, or assigned as a Boss. Additionally, users had the option to pin groups to sidecars. With this update, contacts on sidecars can only be added by configuring them as line keys on the sidecar. Saved configurations continue to appear on the sidecar with this app. Any further changes will only happen through line key management. We'll make changes to streamline this experience on sidecars in the future.
