What’s New in Microsoft 365: Queue-Tips
From intuitive sharing experience with OneDrive to connecting employees to organizational goals with Microsoft Viva Goals—here’s what’s new in Microsoft 365.
Microsoft is introducing new sharing experiences in OneDrive, enabling creation and collaboration in Microsoft Office, and connecting employees to organizational goals with Viva Goals. Keep reading to find out if these additions will benefit your employees and organization.
Streamline file sharing and communication in the flow of work
OneDrive is the core system for powering all file-sharing experiences across Microsoft 365. Whether you are working alone on a project or collaborating with your team, these new capabilities equip you with everything you will need. Microsoft is working on creating a more intuitive sharing experience across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams that provides a quick, robust way to locate and share files and manage access settings across individuals and groups.
The redesigned OneDrive Home experience surfaces your most recent files along with any activity updates, so you can see everything at a glance and quickly prioritize where to start working. You can also filter by file type (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, and .pdf) using the buttons at the top of the Recent file list. Finally, to easily find and access the places where you continually work, you can pin document libraries to the Quick access section in the left navigation bar of OneDrive Home.
Enable creation and collaboration with Microsoft 365
The new capabilities in Microsoft Office make it easier to access, create, and organize ideas on the web or on your mobile device. Microsoft 365 lets you create, share, and collaborate all in one place with your favorite apps.
On the web, People Pinning under My Content enables you to create a more personalized experience by pinning your top collaborators so that you can easily get back to the content from your most important contacts.
On the mobile app, Microsoft Feed lets commercial users discover interesting and relevant content, activity, and insights all drawn from their Microsoft 365 network.
And Microsoft Lens in the app uses interactive text to help you reuse information from existing photos, screenshots, or camera views to quickly capture notes, copy, and paste across platforms, save to your device, or share with others.
Reconnect and engage a dispersed workforce
The need for an improved employee experience and well-being is being recognized by organizations now more than ever —which’s why about 25 percent of the Fortune 500 already use Microsoft Viva.
Viva Goals—now generally available—connects employees to your organization’s goals, helps them stay aligned at scale, and drives business results to empower people and teams to understand their impact. Viva Goals supports the objectives and key results (OKR) goal-setting framework that naturally creates alignment between the work teams are doing and an organization’s top business priorities.
The polling experience in Teams is now improved, enabling owners to easily create and launch new pre-defined polls or repurpose the old ones. A new, dynamic experience with animations for voting and results views makes polls more interactive and engaging. Read more about the new capabilities of Microsoft Teams.
These are the enhanced capabilities across Microsoft 365 to help people collaborate and stay connected and engaged in the flow of work.
