Modern Site Page People Web Part

I had planned to use the People web part (see attached) on the modern page to list a contact person. Then I discovered it only provides a name, title, and the circle (with initials or picture). ...

CatherineB and JanetS,

The "live people card" behavior (where you can hover over an individual and see more information about them) isn't yet rolled out to the government cloud you are both a member of, which is why you don't see that behavior in the people web part. Once that underlying capability is rolled out, it will become available in SharePoint. The team handling that feature roll-out hasn't committed to a roll-out time frame yet. We'll let you know when we know a time frame for it. fyi Steve Zhang

For First Release users, when you go to edit the People webpart, they added a new layout. The original People Webpart for the modern sites had a "Compact View". The new option I am seeing in first release today is called "Descriptive". The cards look bigger and you can add a description text field under your picture. It looks like they added a "Add a profile link" but it appears to be broken. Nothing happens when you click it.

I can see the Descriptive View has now rolled out to my tenant. Useful enhancement. Thanks for highlighting this update.

Sweet! Is that "Add a profile link" broken for you as well? Doesnt appear to do anything.

    Now we have the descriptive view too, but I miss the ability to alter the information that is shown, fo example I would like to show the phonenumber and email directly, not only after the mouseover/click.
