M365 Changelog: Key Document Updates as a Highlight in the Profile Card

MC628160 – Item insights power a few prominent file-based experiences in Microsoft 365. Microsoft is introducing a new highlight type that shows updates to relevant documents seen by your users on their collaborators’ profile cards. Document updates include edits, comments, mentions, replies, and shares. When this toggle is turned off, it will also disable this highlight for your organization.

This change is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 145799

When this will happen:

Microsoft will start rolling out this feature in early August and expect to complete by late August.

How this will affect your organization:

With this update, document updates will start to show up when your users look at the profile card of their key collaborators, an example of which is below:

User A would view User B’s profile card and would see that User B has commented on a document User A and User B have access to. User C would not be able to see this on User B’s profile card if they are not a key collaborator.
