Microsoft has recently updated how Viva Connections cards can be used in SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, which may affect how you work with information and quick actions within your organization. Cards that you previously only saw in Viva Connections dashboards will now automatically appear in SharePoint when you use the SharePoint agent or Copilot and ask questions. This means that users will receive relevant cards directly in the side panel, where they can perform the same actions as in the dashboard itself, without having to navigate away.
The cards support all existing types, including custom and self-designed cards via the SharePoint Framework. This functionality requires that you have Viva Connections activated and configured; otherwise, the cards will not be displayed to your users. The feature is currently in preview, and Microsoft is collecting feedback for further development. The rollout to all customers is expected to be completed during the summer, with general availability planned for the period between June and August 2025.
There are no requirements to update your existing cards or to make any technical preparations for this change. If you already use Viva Connections, it may be worthwhile to inform your users about this update, as it can simplify daily work and speed up processes in SharePoint and Teams.
