-As an opt-in preview, enterprises can switch to controlling granular model access exclusively through enterprise teams. This gives you more control over model access based on business needs, roles, or levels of training.

 ## Setting a baseline for model access
 
-Regardless of whether you are opted in to the preview, you should explicitly configure all models that should be either enabled or disabled for everyone. For example, everyone in your company might get access to vetted, low-cost models, whereas some models might be disabled everywhere for compliance reasons.

 ### Preparing to migrate
 
 Before opting in to the preview, we recommend you create enterprise teams and begin recreating and enhancing your existing organization-based setup. With teams, you have more scope to map model access to business needs. For example, higher-cost models might be enabled for development teams or people who have received specific training.
 
 For each team, you can use the **default models** tab to configure the model access that the team will receive. These settings do not apply until you opt in to the preview.
 
-Make sure your new setup will not cause regressions for users. Although models that are explicitly "enabled" or "disabled" at the enterprise level will keep those settings once you opt in to the preview, models that are "optional" or unconfigured will be unavailable by default until they are enabled for specific teams. Filter your enterprise's model policy page by status to identify these models and choose which teams will receive access to them.
