This repo will be archived and no longer actively supported on March 31, 2022. The existing assets will remain for reference but will no longer be available in the Visual Studio Marketplace or NuGet repository.

Questions regarding the Enterprise Assistant Template and/or migration support can be directed to the BotFramework-Components or BotFramework-Composer repositories.
