I’d like to know which “update channel” we are in for updates to Microsoft 365 apps, and how it’s implemented/maintained. I understand there are choices of different channels we can be in to receive updates. I did find in the M365 Admin Center, Settings, Org Settings, Office installation options, that we have "Once a month (Monthly Enterprise Channel)" selected. So how do I determine exactly what software is updated monthly? I would assume this includes the Office apps of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and perhaps OneNote. But what about the MS Teams app? Is that included? Or what about online use of SharePoint and OneDrive? How do I know when our tenant will receive updates in those? Or those in Power Apps and Power Automate?

MS Teams is its own App and it updates on its own. You do not have to do anything.
What do you want to know about SharePoint/OneDrive?
