MC1247887 - Microsoft Viva Glint: AI-generated survey insights with Copilot highlights

Updated April 9, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

Introduction

Copilot highlights in Viva Glint provides AI‑generated, structured summaries of employee survey results directly within supported Glint reports. The feature appears as a collapsible card at the top of the report and surfaces key insights—including strengths, opportunities, team‑level differences, and trends—to help managers and leaders move from data to action faster. Copilot highlights will be automatically available for users who have access to Copilot in Viva Glint, with no additional configuration required.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558111.
