FYI | Some episodes of The Intrazone podcast now published to the Community News Desk
Hello Fellow SharePoint'ers! A quick note, we now publish posts for our regular episodes to the newCommunity News Desk blog. We will continue to publish the SharePoint roadmap pitstopepisodes as posts to the SharePoint community blog. Thanks for tuning in. And if you haven't yet listened to The Intrazone podcast, or shared it with a fellow collaborator, well - no time like the present (and thanks in advance for doing so). Doing either of these two actions buys you 100 virtual credits to spend on hidden likes to any SharePoint tweet. ntrazone Yours podcastingly, Mark "Here and there" Kashman and Chris "There and here" McNultyCorp Comms + Viva related episode of The Intrazone podcast

Office 365 helps you discover new content and people relevant to the work you are doing, in context of where you are working. Alongside existing intelligent experiences like Office Delve, suggested sites in SharePoint home, the 'Discover' tab in OneDrive for Business, your 'Focused Inbox' in Outlook, and more - the search experienceis now becoming more intelligent, more personalized; all based on the insights the Microsoft Graph provides to you based on who you work with and what you work on. When you go to find stuff, find it a more intelligent way! To learn more about the new search experience and see it in action, check out the new announcement, "Intelligence-powered search, Delve, and Microsoft Graph updates" within the Delve community blog. Thanks, Mark Kashman, senior product managerPraise within the Office 365 profile experience is being cancelled
We have decided to cancel the ‘Praise’ feature in Delve. The feature initially rolled out to Office 365 First Release customers, but has been pulled back, due to customer feedback and decision to divert engineering resources to other aspects of the product. The feature is now listed as “Cancelled” on the Office 365 Public Roadmap. Please let me know in comments on this thread if you have any further questions and I'll address what I can. - Mark Kashman, senior product manager (SharePoint & Delve) - MicrosoftUnderstanding security and privacy of Delve and intelligent experiences in Office 365
Within Office 365, Delve is an intelligent service aimed at helping users stay in the know – to discover new, relevant information and people based on who they work with and the content they work on. Delve proactively discovers content across Office 365 and connects users to content and people, intuitively and in a personalized fashion. Powered by the Microsoft Graph, Delve brings you information from across Office 365 – OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, Yammer, Office 365 Video and more. Delve will only show you content that you have access to—it always respects the permissions and security policies of that content. We want to provide insight and clarity for the security and privacy that comes with, and backs, Delve in Office 365. And to be clear about what role the Microsoft Graph plays, examples of how it is used in Delve and throughout Office 365. Security and Privacy Delve is covered under the Office 365 Trust Center and meets all of the requirements of our highest level of compliance which Microsoft refers to as “Tier D” compliance, e.g., ISO 27001 and 27018 certification, SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance. Delve is also licensed under the Microsoft Standard Online Services Terms which include commitments such as the EU Model Clauses. This, too, applies to the Microsoft Graph - the underlying intelligence service that uses advanced analytics to provide relevant, personalized insights via Delve and other user interface experiences throughout Office 365. You can read more within the public “Office 365 Compliance Framework for Industry Standards and Regulations" document (.pdf). Customers own their Microsoft Graph data, which is stored in their partition of Office 365. The Microsoft Graph data has the same protection and security as other customer data stored in other Office 365 services. Delve never changes any permissions on content or other information. Users only discover what they already have permission to see. Only you can see your private documents in Delve, unless you decide and act to share them. It is important content owners establish and maintain any required or desired access rights and permissions on the content/documents themselves. Documents are not stored in Delve, but rather they are only displayed within the Delve experience from where they are stored, for example OneDrive for Business or a SharePoint Online document library. People can't see each other's private activities, such as what documents they've read, what emails they've sent and received, or what Skype for Business conversations they've been in. People can see when others modify a document, but only if they have access to the same document. What you see when you open Delve is personalized to you, and no one else sees the same files, content, and activity you do. It is possible to opt out of Delve at both the tenant level and the user level. Once opted out, users will not see the Delve tile in the Office 365 app launcher. Opted out users’ document activity (documents they are accessing) is no longer used to help others discover their content. Additionally, various services that surface content and recommendations from the Microsoft Graph to provide intelligence throughout Office 365 will simply not appear. They, too, may revert to previous non-Graph-based methods -- for example, search-based vs graph-based. One example, if you opt out, you would not see the new "Discover" tab within OneDrive for Business - yet the core of OneDrive for Business remains intact. To learn more, please review these two important Delve security and privacy support articles; the first for admins and second for users: "Office Delve for Office 365 admins", "Are my documents safe in Office Delve?". Additionally, it is important to understand permissions levels in SharePoint and other content repositories; examine existing permissions if you perceive any unintended exposure. The Microsoft Graph – supporting the business user and the developer The content, activity, people, and recommendations that surface in Delve and other intelligent experiences are powered by Microsoft Graph. The Microsoft Graph represents a collection of content and people, and the activity that happens across the entire Office suite. From email, social conversations, and meetings, to documents in SharePoint and OneDrive, the Microsoft Graph maps the relationships among people and information, and acts as the foundation for intelligent experiences, providing more relevant and personalized experience to each user. The Microsoft Graph uses sophisticated machine learning techniques to connect people to the relevant content, conversations and people around them. A visual representation of the various content sources and signal Delve and the Microsoft Graph leverage to help make discovery or relevant content and people possible. Review which types of content you can expect to see in Delve. And learn more about the Microsoft Graph. Intelligence beyond Delve, throughout Office 365 and beyond The value of infusing intelligence within Delve, and throughout Office 365 applications, means you have access to intelligent information and insights right where you are working without leaving the app or experience where you are working. You’ll see intelligence in OneDrive for Business in the form of the Discover tab where you’ll find others’ files related to what you are working on. The home page of a SharePoint team site surfaces activities in the site, the SharePoint mobile app and the SharePoint home in Office 365 suggest sites of possible interest and recent activity, plus Outlook’s Focused Inbox, where the Graph helps identify and eliminate clutter in your email stream. Screenshots on web and mobile where the value of intelligence from the Microsoft Graph surfaces throughout the various Office 365 workloads. The effect of opting-out of Delve will reduce the intelligence and discovery experiences in Office 365. It is our recommendation to not opt out. It is also possible to program your own custom solutions for any device with the intelligence from the Microsoft Graph. Developers leverage a single end point that provides access to a common set of simple, modern APIs. Using the Microsoft Graph API, developers can consume Office 365 data in their apps to create custom, personalized experiences for their users. You can learn more about developing with the Microsoft Graph at https://graph.microsoft.io. And the same data access security and privacy model, as articulated above, remains with custom applications that use the Microsoft Graph API. Custom applications querying the Microsoft Graph do so under the security context of the user and will only return content to which the user has been given permissions. Delve and intelligence customer evidence As you move from learning about Delve and the Microsoft Graph, into how you and your company can best introduce the value and capabilities to your users, it’s helpful to review how other companies chose to move forward, helping them to overcome a variety of challenges facing them. Below are two recent examples of companies that committed to putting Delve and the Microsoft Graph to use in production, into their evolving digital workplaces. Marks & Spencer | M&S is a global, multichannel retailer with more than 1,330 stores selling innovative food and quality clothing to people living in many different cultures. They wanted to find a way to unite the company. To promote unity, they sought the right technology tools to support a new business culture— one that is modern, agile, connected and collaborative—that’s defined by a digital mindset across a single global company. Alongside their company portal, serving 80,000 employees, Delve provides intelligent people discovery. “We plugged Delve into our company directory, so employees can look for individuals and see their managers and who they work with. We view Delve as a quick and easy way to find current data to keep us moving at a fast pace in this fast-paced business.” says Carl Dawson, IT Director. Please review the full Marks & Spencer case study + video. Weleda | Based in Arlesheim, Switzerland, Weleda has offices and partnerships in more than 50 countries. They needed to connect employees to the relevant content, conversations, and people around them. By “embedding Delve-like functionality into our intranet, it helps employees stay better connected to the colleagues, information, and projects that mean the most to them,” says Vladimir Filev, Enterprise Architect. Weleda employees are using Microsoft Office 365 to work closely with colleagues worldwide, transforming an email-driven workplace into an inclusive, connected culture that promotes individual achievement to improve global productivity and drive innovation. “Because Delve has such a great search engine,” Filev continues, “I’m able to keep track of contacts and files across multiple projects I’m involved with. In terms of personal time management, I find Delve very helpful.” Please review the full Weleda case study. Intelligence rests on trust Microsoft is committed to security, privacy and compliance. Your data is your data – and it is you who has control of who can see it and who can access it. Through transparent service operations, we seek to gain and earn your trust every day. We are accountable to you.

As announced in August, 2016, we are bringing SharePoint Online team sites to Office 365 groups. This change rolled out to First Release tenants in the end of 2016 and is now beginning worldwide rollout. This next phase of the rollout will start Thursday, January 12, 2017, and is expected to complete to customers worldwide in 100% of production by the end of the month. The new SharePoint Online team site home page for an Office 365 group showcases important news, content and site activity. When you create a group, Office 365 gives the group a shared inbox, calendar, OneNote notebook, a Planner for task management—and now, a full-powered SharePoint team site. Each group gets a modern home page—with the ability to create additional pages—document libraries, lists and business apps. The integration of groups and SharePoint team sites means that any time a new team site is created, a new group membership will be created as well. You can easily see the members of the site, if the site is listed as public or private within your organization and how it has been classified. In addition, all existing Office 365 groups will be updated with their own team site. And once the rollout is complete for your tenant, all existing and newly created groups will get a team site by default. Within a group’s team site, this roll out brings a new home page, features News for highlighting important content in the team, and the Activity web part for showing recently active content. These team sites also include our new responsive and powerful page authoring and consumption experience – all connected to the overall Office 365 group experience. There is nothing you need to do but collaborate with your team in a more modern, connected way. Please ask in a reply to this thread if you have any questions. We are pleased to reach this milestone, and here with you along the way. Thanks, MarkNEW: FastTrack offer to migrate #SharePoint 2013 customers to #Office365
