Before you act on this: these entries are drafted with AI assistance from Microsoft's
own roadmap feed, in the interest of keeping this readable and current. AI can make mistakes — names,
dates and what a feature actually does can be summarised wrong. Treat everything below as a starting
point, not advice. Always check back to the source roadmap entry linked below, and do your own
human-in-the-loop validation before you tell anyone else what to do about it.
What it is
A new Recent tab on the Viva Engage home feed, sitting alongside the existing personalised For you feed.
What it does
Recent shows posts from people and communities you follow in something closer to chronological order, rather than the algorithm's best guess at what you'd want to see first.
Why I should care
The For you feed is convenient but opaque. You can't always tell why something is or isn't showing. Recent gives you a predictable view for when you specifically want to check what you've missed, rather than what Viva Engage thinks you'll like.
What action I need to take
Once it's live, try Recent for a week if you use Viva Engage regularly. If it becomes your default view, that's worth telling whoever manages your organisation's Viva Engage community — it's a signal the personalised feed wasn't working for people.
