Personalizing and tagging content to achieve more

Through boards, we can store documents by subject or categories, making it even easier to discover and share content. A board should be categorized in order to be a starting point for any user who has to engage with and be up to date on certain content. Examples of boards include the following:

  • Employee onboarding
  • Physics class
  • Strategic plan
  • Marketing campaign
  • Monthly results reports

Every board can be added to by the entire organization and will be seen in the documents that people have access to.

Boards are essential for students using Microsoft 365 because coursework and research can be categorized into school subjects or topics, making research collaborative, further enriching learning.

You can directly share a board by clicking Send a link at the top of the board page, so your colleagues can collaborate by including documents and saving this board to search for content.

Several teams and people can assemble complete boards that facilitate the viewing of documents that are segregated into different teams and emails, always maintaining security and privacy. If the user does not have permission to view a document within this frame, the document will not appear.

In order to not lose any important documents or pictures for your day-to-day or even for your current performance, you can save them in your favorites, which is your exclusive area.

Tip

Every frame you create will automatically appear in Favorite Frames, but when removed from favorites they are not deleted; they are kept in the documents already marked.

If we aim to grow collaboration beyond the office, we need an application that produces results even on your way to work. In the age of mobility, we can count on Delve to help us find what we need—even on mobile.
