We made significant enhancements to schedule reminders experience in GitHub app for Microsoft Teams.

• We have introduced a first class UI to configure your pending pull request reminders. And as part of this UI, we added a bunch of advanced controls that will help you in fine tuning your reminders.
• We relaxed the administrator requirement to configure reminders. Now, any contributor can schedule reminders in MS Teams for the repositories he/she has access.
  

This will ensure you get reminders for the pull request that need your attention and there is no unnecessary noise in the channel.

• Made few updates to the look and feel of the GitHub issue notification card.
