There’s no configuration required to get the Feed working in the desktop or mobile apps. Content in the Feed can’t be edited because content is aggregated from across your Microsoft 365 environment. Content comes from multiple sources: organizational news published in SharePoint, industry news, meeting insights, and files and information from frequent collaborators.
The [Feed web part for Viva Connections](use-feed-web-part-for-viva-connections.md) displays the same content and can be added to other SharePoint sites. Content that is displayed in the Feed can’t be edited but the ranking can be influenced with the following actions:

For mobile, the Feed refreshes each time the application is selected. Users can also manually refresh the Feed through the pull-down action. On the web, the Feed automatically refreshes each time the web page is refreshed. Individual content items in the Feed will display for a 30-day period. SharePoint news posts that have been boosted will display prominently for up to four days.

## When can we expect to see a newly created post in the Feed?
Posts will typically take up to 1 hour to appear in a user’s Feed. Content from a newly created [SharePoint home site](home-site-plan.md) is sometimes delayed for up to 24 hours after the site is initially created. After that initial 7-day period has passed, it will take up to 1 hour to appear.

## How is the Feed personalized and how is content ranked?
There are several factors such as the content’s age, whether it’s been "boosted" by the organization, the publishing source, and the author’s relationship to the reader to determine the content ranking. This is to users can discover new content each time they open the Feed so it never gets boring or predictable. However, engaging content in the Feed relies on how often content is created on the SharePoint sites and Viva Engage communities.

One of the primary goals of the Feed is to give content publishers a reliable means of distributing important news and information. To keep them interested and coming back regularly we’re working to strike a balance between the engaging content they want (like from sites they're a member of, or communities they follow) and the information they need (like SharePoint organizational news site and Viva Engage All Company posts). To achieve this, we don’t rely on a pure chronological ranking.
-Over time, we plan on continuing to experiment with our ranking and to add new factors to the algorithm we use. We'll be moving over to a machine learning model that is optimized for user engagement while preserving the ability for organizations to lift important content that is recent to the top of users Feeds.

-For SharePoint news, more filtering is available through [audience targeting](https://support.microsoft.com/office/target-navigation-news-files-links-and-web-parts-to-specific-audiences-33d84cb6-14ed-4e53-a426-74c38ea32293), which allows publishers to designate content relevant to specific groups of people. Examples might be employees in a specific department, region, building, or title. This is done by enabling audience targeting on the site where content is being published, then using Microsoft Entra groups to define the target audience. However, if audience targeting isn't applied, users will still get the SharePoint News on their feed. Publishers also have the ability to promote critical messages in the Feed. News published from Org News sites has a Boost feature that explicitly tells the feed ‘this content is important’. As a result, that content is artificially pushed to the top of the feed.

The Feed web part is designed to collect and display content from sources across SharePoint, Viva Engage, and Stream (on SharePoint) into a single viewing experience. Each users’ Feed will look different because content displayed in the web part is personalized to the viewer based on the SharePoint sites and Viva Engage communities that they follow. [Learn more about where content in the Feed comes from](/viva/connections/faqs-viva-connections-feed).

There’s no configuration required to get the Feed working in the desktop or mobile apps. Content in the Feed can’t be edited because content is aggregated from across your Microsoft 365 environment. Content comes from multiple sources: organizational news published in SharePoint, industry news, meeting insights, and files and information from frequent collaborators.

This can prevent boosted news from displaying prominently to end-users if the boosted news publishing date is older than the organizational news. Also, for [new organization news sites](/sharepoint/organization-news-site), it can take up to 24 hours for boosted news created from those sites to appear in the Top News card in Viva Connections dashboard.

In the [Feed for Viva Connections web part](/viva/connections/use-feed-web-part-for-viva-connections), news posts from [organizational news sites](/sharepoint/organization-news-site) up to 24 hours from the post date will take precedence over older boosted news that has not yet reached the expiration. This can prevent boosted news from displaying prominently to end-users if the boosted news publishing date is older than the organizational news. Also, for [new organization news sites](/sharepoint/organization-news-site), it can take up to 24 hours for boosted news created from those sites to appear in the Top News card in Viva Connections dashboard.

There’s no configuration required to get the Feed working in the desktop or mobile apps. Content in the Feed can’t be edited because content is aggregated from across your Microsoft 365 environment. Content comes from multiple sources: organizational news published in SharePoint, industry news, meeting insights, and files and information from frequent collaborators.

Each users’ Feed will look different because content displayed in the web part is personalized to the viewer based on the SharePoint sites and Viva Engage communities that they follow.

This can prevent boosted news from displaying prominently to end-users if the boosted news publishing date is older than the organizational news. Also, for [new organization news sites](/sharepoint/organization-news-site), it can take up to 24 hours for boosted news created from those sites to appear in the Top News card in Viva Connections dashboard.

There’s no configuration required to get the Feed working in the desktop or mobile apps. Content in the Feed can’t be edited because content is aggregated from across your Microsoft 365 environment. Content comes from multiple sources: organizational news published in SharePoint, industry news, meeting insights, and files and information from frequent collaborators.

# Delegate access to organizational insights and Copilot Dashboard
+>[!Note]
+>The Copilot Dashboard Delegation feature is gradually rolling out to our customers so it might not be available to everyone right away.
+
You can delegate access to your organizational insights and Copilot Dashboard to other people within your company. In contrast to organizational insights, holding the group manager role isn’t required to delegate access to the Copilot Dashboard.
By granting delegate access, someone else at your company, such as your chief of staff or one of your direct reports, would have the same access you have to organizational insights. They can view them and operationalize business decisions based on the data and insights.
