[Introduction]

Managers will soon be able to export the default sections from the Executive Summary report in Viva Glint directly into editable PowerPoint slides. This enhancement makes it easier and faster to share and customize reports outside Viva Glint compared to the previous method, which relied on static screenshots.

With this release, the new editable PowerPoint export feature will be available for Executive Summary reports, complementing the Team Summary report export capability introduced earlier.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 499661.
