This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1.
The first of the new functionality in the Productive with Microsoft 365 section is Experience Enhanced Adaptive Cards In Teams.
Sharing Business Central records as cards in Microsoft Teams adds context to every conversation and helps people make data-driven decisions. Business Central offers multiple ways to share a record as a card, such as the Share to Teams feature in the web client, pasting a deep link to any page or record in Teams chat, or searching for business contacts directly from within Teams. Microsoft’s research indicates that the multiple steps required to include a card in a chat message often slows down the pace with which people communicate in chat. This update includes multiple enhancements that make adding a card easier than ever.

Feature Details
When Business Central users share a message that includes a Business Central card, the card itself now doesn’t require additional sign-in prompts and simply uses the current identity signed in to Teams to also sign in to Business Central.
Cards with a thumbnail image now consume less vertical space, allowing more surrounding content to show in the Teams chat or compose area. The card layout has been redesigned so that thumbnails are shown in a smaller size alongside fields.
Access denied errors, such as missing permissions to a record or environment, are more seamlessly integrated into the Teams experience.
