Introducing Preview of Experience insights for Microsoft 365

Here, as with many other Microsoft 365 reports, Experience insights are aggregated at the tenant level only; no user-level data is available. An image of the Experience insights dashboard home screen in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Experience insights help you quickly understand key user experience signals from select Microsoft 365 apps and services. Now, anytime a user in your organization submits feedback through Microsoft 365 apps or services or completes an NPS survey, we share that information back to you through Experience insights. Today, Experience insights is optimized for organizations with higher volumes of data, but we are working on bringing the experience to smaller organizations in the future. To learn more about this new dashboard, check out the Microsoft Docs article: Microsoft 365 Experience insights dashboard - Microsoft 365 admin. We're excited to bring this new experience to you and hope it will be a useful tool to help you understand and improve the user experience with Microsoft 365 in your organization.
