Managers will soon get a similar powerful Copilot analytics experience to senior leaders, tailored to their own teams
We’re expanding the reach of the Copilot Dashboard and Reports page in Viva Insights to include managers, in addition to the senior leaders, delegates, and analysts supported today. Starting late September, managers will have default-on access to a team-scoped view of the Copilot Dashboard and related Reports tab, providing rich insights into Copilot adoption, impact, and learning, all automatically tailored to their teams.
In addition, analysts will be able to publish from their library of available reports directly to managers. These reports will also appear in the Viva Insights web app and be scoped to the manager’s own team, making it easier to surface relevant, actionable insights based on manager need.
This change also unifies all manager insights into a single destination: the Viva Insights web app. As part of this update, the manager capabilities currently available in the Viva Insights Teams app, such as Organizational behavior insights and Copilot chat insights, will no longer be supported.
Managers will soon see a banner in the Teams app notifying them of the upcoming change. Once the rollout is complete, manager insights will only be available in the Viva Insights web app.
Broader Copilot insights for managers
Managers will gain a dedicated Copilot Dashboard scoped to their own teams, showing adoption, impact, and learning insights.
They’ll also have access to the Reports page, which provides out-of-the-box Copilot reports with no setup required. Managers will have access to the Copilot for Sales adoption report, with more reports becoming available over time.
Publishing to managers
We’re extending the Viva Insights’ publishing capability so analysts can share reports directly with managers, in addition to senior leaders. This can give managers access to a broad library of reports automatically scoped to their own teams, covering topics like Copilot, collaboration, meeting effectiveness, and more.
Published reports appear prominently on the Reports page as cards, making it easy for managers to explore detailed, team-specific insights with no setup required.
This feature will launch in public preview at the same time as the above capabilities. Insight admins must enable it (if they haven’t already) before analysts can start publishing.
No action needed to gain access to Copilot Dashboard team view
There’s nothing managers or admins need to do to take advantage of these changes. If admins have previously modified manager settings, those settings will continue to apply. This includes any minimum group size thresholds you have set or any managers you have enabled for manager insights. Any delegates currently assigned to a manager will also continue to have the same access in the new experience.
For organizations that haven’t made modifications, managers with the default minimum team size (10 members) will automatically gain access to the new capabilities in the Viva Insights web app.
Managers will still need either a Viva Insights license or a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to access the new team-scoped dashboards. Your organization also needs to have at least 50 of these licenses to be eligible for Manager insights.
