New Feature: SharePoint Auto Digest Email MC215356 - no admin control!
VegardStromsoy I might be wrong, but I think this message centre email said that this was just for users who had 'followed' a site. I am reading this as the user needs to have gone in via M365 waffle menu to 'SharePoint' and clicked the star icon which in my experience most normal users will not have done in most scenarios as they will have either gone straight to Teams, followed a link or favourite to a team site or from their company home communication site. Certainly if setting up SP in advance of adoption activities, I would think this is unlikely.
I'm not sure if this gives a little more comfort over signal versus noise for users, but I get that having admin ability to turn it off might be better for all scenarios
Gavin_Jones the announcement mentions users will get news to unread sites they have access to and won't see news on sites they don't have permissions to.
RocioA Correct 🙂
"Users will start to receive a weekly mail from SharePoint Online containing news that that [sic] they have not yet read based on sites that they are following."
And, "users will have access to all the news posts that they are sent so rest assured that users won't see news that they don't have permission to see"
- There is no mention of following in the announcement, agree that it would have made it less of a problem if it did.
VegardStromsoy Oh, there was in the email I got (attached), although not particularly emphasised
- That makes it less of a problem indeed, I'd still prefer admin control over this though..
