Directory Console improvements

Since we released the Directory Console, we've shipped a steady stream of smaller improvements alongside the bigger feature releases. Here's what you might have missed 👇

🙋‍♂️ Directory Editors can now access the Directory Console to view and edit profiles, offices, and org units. They see only the actions relevant to their role; admins still see everything.

📑 View your Microsoft 365 attribute mappings: if you have custom attributes (extensionAttributes) mapped from Microsoft 365 to OneDirectory, you can now see those mappings in Fields.

​⌚ Audit timestamp of when a profile was synced or created. CreatedAt/CreatedBy now shows at the bottom of the side pane when viewing a profile, e.g. "Added from Microsoft Entra ID on 16 March 2021" or if it's a managed profile, who created it and when.

🔑 Disabled fields are now genuinely respected everywhere: API responses, profiles, org chart, custom attributes, contact details. The Manager field is also now disableable.

💫 "Request full sync" button: admins can trigger a full resync themselves, rate-limited to 4/hour. Remember: syncs run every hour automatically.

📊 Field coverage indicators: In Fields you can now see how populated each field is across your org.

👌 A people picker for adding Admins and Directory Editors, replacing the old email textbox

✨ "What's New" on the Console overview, so you can keep up to date with product updates like this one ;)

📥 The Console sidebar can now be collapsed, and we improved the header bar to show the section you're in.

💬 Two new options in the three-dot menu on a profile: "Copy link to profile" and "Show in org chart", which opens the person directly in the live org chart. Copy link works on offices, departments, and org units too.

🏳️ Country flags and org unit thumbnails throughout the grids, plus entity people counts

🚫 Removed "Default" office and department; they now show empty instead of Default (everywhere, not just in the console)
