SharePoint Auto News Digest updates
- Roadmap ID: 70606
- October 2021
You can now brand your news digest with your organization’s theme colors and logo. If your organization site is already branded, that branding will automatically be applied to automatic news digests. The news digest uses built-in Intelligent ranking so that users see the news most relevant to them.

- Roadmap ID: 68813

In the SharePoint admin center, the Active sites page will provide new informational columns. The “Created from” column will show the apps that were used to create sites. And the “Teams” column will show which sites are connected to Microsoft Teams. The “Created from” and “Teams” information will also be available in the details panel when you select an individual site.
SharePoint admin center: new homepage insights dashboard
- Roadmap ID: 68812
- October 2021
Take an administration-at-a-glance approach with actionable charts and insights as cards on the SharePoint admin center homepage. And it's customizable—you can add, remove, and rearrange cards to suit your needs.
Microsoft Lists - @mentions in comments
- Roadmap ID: 68811
- October 2021
“Mention” people you work with while adding a new comment to a list Item. As a result, the person will receive an email notification with a direct link to the list item. It's a terrific way to notify, share and collaborate directly from within the list itself.
Power Apps can now display images from Microsoft Lists
- Roadmap ID: 81986
- October 2021
This is an improved experience so that images stored in Image columns in Microsoft Lists can be displayed when designing custom forms in the Power Apps design canvas. You can choose to display the images in four sizes: small, medium, large, or full.
Delete from within page details
- Roadmap ID: 81994
- October 2021
This is a simple one, and one that's been met with a lot of joy from my purview - mainly due to the time-to-click ratio for performing this action. Instead of going several clicks in beyond the site contents page and into the Pages library, now you can click the Page details button at the top of the page or news article and delete in one click from within the page details pane.
Headspace mindfulness content comes to Microsoft Viva Insights
- Roadmap ID: 68748
- October 2021
You'll start to see a curated set of guided meditations and focus music from Headspace. The goal is to help disconnect from work in the evening, relax your mind before a big meeting, or find focus before starting an important project. In just a few minutes a day, meditation and mindfulness with Headspace can help users lower stress, increase focus and ease teamwork.
Create trackable tasks from your ad hoc Teams messages
- Roadmap ID: 68696
- October 2021
Tasks happen everywhere - in an email threads, working on files, or within team chats. And before you forget to make a note of a task, simply click in, and create tasks from Microsoft Teams messages on desktop and web. Like you've seen for emails in Outlook and comments in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint docs.

- Roadmap ID: 65953
