SharePoint Social Bar - Page Usage Information
According to the Message Centre this should be rolling out to Targeted Release. Anyone seen it yet
- The SharePoint page usage information (what was initially communicated as the "social bar") is now rolling out to Targeted Release, and I believe it's complete for 100% of Targeted Release (TR) customers already, but if not - it's a matter of days. And then in ~ 1-2 weeks, we'll begin roll out for the rest of production - just keeping an eye on scale and any main stress points customers in TR provide.

Nice job on delivering the social bar. I also see the like, comments and views on my TR tenant.
- Michel VerwijmerenBrass Contributor
Still nothing on my tenant(s).
I also noticed another feature announcement, the 'News Digest Email':

Hi Michel,
We're actively working on finishing the News digest feature also to start roll-out of that one. Thx, Andy Alina Skarbovsky

Looping in Alyssa Danesh who can provide the best status update. Alyssa?
- Dean_GrossSilver Contributor
This brings up the age old question of how come we can't get tenant specific notifications that a feature has actually reached us?
Having to do trial and error and pinging the community is tedious at best.

Yes, this is our biggest frustration with Office 365 in general.

Hello! We are currently validating the switches to turn the social bar on/off. Will roll out after that. I'll update this discussion with an ETA - stay tuned!

Got the message below in my developer tenant admin center. This tenant is on Targeted Release but the functionality is not visible yet. According the the message text it should be rolled out to production by April 1st
- John WynneSilver ContributorThanks Paul. I guess my question is why the functionality is not visible in Targeted Release tenants, such as mine, when Production is less than one month away?
- Joe McGowanIron Contributor
I'm experiencing the same issue. Targeted release and don't see it yet. I imagine this feature is delayed.

Mark-Kashman I note that TonyRedmond mentions rollout as April 1. Is that Production? Is Targeted Release still as per the Message Centre? Thanks!
