I am wondering if there is documentation available that outlines which settings are/will be available to M365 Tenant Admins for the New Outlook. For example, will there be an Admin/Group Policy setting to restrict user changes to the Message Surface Actions (screenshot below). There are many valid business cases where you don't want your enterprise stakeholders to hide your organization's third party add-ins/extensions, such as Report Phishing buttons or Send Recognition (BIWorldwide). I also noticed the New Outlook ribbon favors Microsoft tools or add-ins and leaves a lot of blank space (screenshot below) where we expect to see the modern add-ins (from third party providers). I would like to confirm if M365 Tenant Admins can configure the New Outlook ribbon to show business critical third party add-ins.
Here is a screenshot of the blank space in the New Outlook ribbon.

I would appreciate a response from Microsoft and welcome comments from M365 Tenant Admins too. I just want to make I'm doing some research first before consulting my internal collaboration team. Thank you!
