When you click View from inside the Channels Teams block, you will see a page with Teams-specific metrics.

This page will carry over your pre-selected date selection, but other filters from the +Filter menu will not carry over. New filters can be applied from the +Filter menu for narrowing results based on Segments, Personalized, and Audience Status.

News Digest Key Metrics
