The upcoming update to Microsoft SharePoint, introducing the “Messages” search vertical, is set to bring some exciting changes for both admins and users alike. This feature, rolling out from early January 2025, will make it much easier for users to find relevant messages alongside their files and other content. Imagine a search experience where you can swiftly navigate through various types of content without losing your way in the digital jungle!
For admins, the good news is that this feature will be enabled by default, which means less hassle in terms of configuration and management. However, if you’ve previously disabled the “Messages” search vertical on Microsoft 365, it will also be turned off in SharePoint. So, a little pre-rollout housekeeping might be in order to ensure everything is aligned with your organization’s needs. It’s a great opportunity to review your current search settings and consider notifying your users about this change—because who doesn’t want to be the bearer of good news?
From a user perspective, this update is likely to enhance productivity significantly. The ability to filter search results by messages means users can quickly find the information they need without sifting through unrelated files. It’s all about making life easier, and who wouldn’t appreciate that?
In terms of impact, this change seems poised to streamline workflows and improve user satisfaction, making it a win-win for everyone involved. As we gear up for this update, let’s keep the conversation going! What are your thoughts on this new feature? Will it make a difference in how you navigate SharePoint?
