Service overview
Delve helps you discover documents and people that are likely to be the most interesting to you across Office 365. Delve shows you documents no matter where they are stored in OneDrive for Business, in Outlook, in MS Teams or anywhere else in Office 365, as long as you have access to it. Add a document as a favourite to easily get back to it later.
When you and your colleagues view, edit, and share each other's documents, Delve learns from how you work and tailors the information to each of you. What you see in Delve is different from what your colleagues see.

Best practices & policies
- Ensure that documents that you want to keep private are marked as such, and Delve will only allow others to see files that they have permission to view. Learn more about privacy.
- You may also consider using Delve similarly to how you use Outlook, which is an application that people spend a lot of time in throughout the day because it contains e-mail and calendar items. Envision Office Delve becoming the new go-to portal because it centralizes much of the information that is important to you (including e-mail).
