Description

NOTE: Microsoft has announced that the Delve web app will be retired in December 2024. 

Delve shows you a mix of content from across Microsoft 365. You’ll see both your own documents, and documents your colleagues are working on. These are documents stored in OneDrive and SharePoint in Microsoft 365 or shared with you as attachments in emails.

Microsoft Delve seeks to organize documents according to what’s likely to be most relevant to you right now. The same is the case when you search using the search box. You'll see personalized search results based on what's likely to be relevant to you. 

NOTE: Delve will only show you documents that have been shared. It will not show unshared documents within OneDrive or SharePoint as those will remain private.
