Hover Cards Removed from SharePoint People Web Part (GCC)

In case there are any other GCC SharePoint admins out there, Hover Cards (100% of the functionality for the compact People Picker Web Part) seem to have been disabled.

 

It was working beautifully for a few weeks, however according to Support this functionality has been withdrawn for unknown compliance reasons.

 

Anyone floating around out there that might be able to shed some light on what's happening backstage?

      There's movement in a somewhat positive direction but still not feature parity with commercial tenants. 

       

      In GCC the hover card now reveals phone/email from the active directory (which is absolutely better than my original post when nothing appeared).

       

      On the commercial side the hover card is still a much richer experience, including elements of the graph like recently worked on files, the ability to update your profile directly, etc. Even the hover animation is better on the commercial vs. government. 

       

      The above is all in regards to the People hover card. I recently discovered that O365 Group hover cards flat out don't exist in GCC. Fingers crossed we'll see some feature parity one of these days.

        I'm in a GCC High environment and inquired about Delve and Office Graph to a couple of somewhat high level actors in MS.

         

        Their response to the absence of Delve was:

        "While Delve itself isn’t planned for GCC High, there are lots of other features such as People cards throughout the suite (that have recent activity on files, org structure) that we’d like to roll to GCC High as soon the next opportunity which a long process as you know for certification, so we’ve asked to be part of the next GCC-High FedRAMP audit, happening Spring 2019."

         

        I'm assuming from that statement there will not be any new releases to the GCC High tenants until after Spring 2019.

         

        A quick chat with a MS GCC High team member (dev) disclosed to me that they are trying to implement the Office Graph API but do not intend to deploy it fully... (umm, ok). No further explanation.

         

        I'm assuming you're on a GCC tenant. At least there has been some movement there recently.
