I am trying to get the official MSFT process to exclude an application from being restricted by a conditional access policy. Can someone please point me in the right direction or provide a link to the official process to exclude app from conditional access policies? Thanks,
Does the exclude app option not work for you? Is it not a standard enterprise app?
Where is that option at if you can provide documentation on how this is done that would be perfect and exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks, Rahul,

To exclude an application from a conditional access policy, you need to follow a series of steps in your Azure Active Directory. First, navigate to the Azure portal and select "Azure Active Directory" from the services menu. Next, go to "Security" and then "Conditional Access." Here, you'll find a list of your existing policies. Choose the policy you want to modify and select "Assignments." Under "Cloud apps or actions," click "Exclude" and then search for the application you wish to exclude. Once you've found it, select the application and save your changes. This will ensure that the specified application is not subjected to the conditional access policy, allowing it to bypass any restrictions or requirements that the policy enforces.

@Orlando Thompson Thank you for reaching out to us, As I understand you are looking for an option to exclude an app from the conditional access policy, we do have include/exclude tab something like this while creating a conditional access policy within Entra ID
Reference:
Came across this demo of how to exclude and include cloud apps in conditional access policies in Microsoft Entra explained by one of our engineers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijfw5FFsAA4
Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
