We’re taking some time to improve the Briefing email and give you more personalized content in your daily messages. As a result, we’ll take a break from sending you your daily Briefing starting on January 15th, 2023.

 

While you’ll stop receiving the Briefing email for a while, you’ll still have access to Viva Insights features. If you rely on different features within Briefing—like preparing for meetings, reviewing outstanding tasks, or booking focus time—you can find them in your Viva Insights Outlook add-in or Viva Insights app in Teams and web. 

 

 

 

 

You'll continue to receive semi-monthly digest emails with insights and recommendations to build healthy work habits.

 

We’ll keep you updated here and via the Microsoft 365 Admin Message Center on when your Briefing emails will resume and what you’ll find in the new and improved experience.

    I’m with jengerdts. I had begun to rely on the briefing emails. They were an absolute godsend! Can we expect to see them again soon?

     

    The thing I really liked was the reminder to follow up on emails sent or received. I try to work towards ‘inbox zero’. If the emails aren’t coming back, is there a reliable way to automatically receive reminders for emails sent and received? If this feature exists; I haven’t found it (my bad if it’s obvious!)

     

    It’s been over a year since the emails were paused, so I would appreciate an update.

     

    Thank you

    I have missed my Daily Briefings badly these past 6 months. I really started to depend on this feature to go through my emails and see what a) I said that I was going to do, and b) when I emailed someone else with a request and they had not responded. Otherwise, I lose track of all of these tasks!  Do you have an update on the timeline for this feature coming back online?
