 ## [Unreleased] (beta)
 
+### Added
+- Groups and Teams service support available as a feature preview!  Channel messages and Files are now available for backup and restore in the CLI: `corso backup create groups --group '*'`
+  * The cli commands for "groups" and "teams" can be used interchangably, and will operate on the same backup data.
+  * New permissions are required to backup Channel messages.  See the [Corso Documentation](https://corsobackup.io/docs/setup/m365-access/#configure-required-permissions) for complete details.
+  Even though Channel message restoration is not available, message write permissions are included to cover future integration.
+  * This is a feature preview, and may be subject to breaking changes based on feedback and testing.
+
 ### Changed
 - Switched to Go 1.21
 - SharePoint exported libraries are now exported with a `Libraries` prefix.
