Details
Here is a list of Delve features and Microsoft’s suggested alternatives:
- Delve Home > discover relevant documents recommended on Office.com, in Office apps and in Profile Cards.
- Delve Profile > view profile data in the Profile Cards cross M365, through people in search on Office.com and search in SharePoint.
- Edit profile > a new edit profile experience tightly coupled with Profile Cards will be released in the second half of 2024
