We’ve introduced several updates to improve the Members webpart

You can now select the display type you prefer and set the maximum number of members displayed in the view.

To match your organizational needs, you can choose to source your member lists from SharePoint groups, groups linked to your Microsoft 365 account, or create a custom list of users.

2. New Edit Webpart : Office groups / Teams / Viva Engage

The configuration of the Office groups / Teams / Viva Engage webpart has been reorganized using modern and intuitive display. The settings are now divided into two main sections : Content to display and How to display,

These updates improve the overall functionality and design.

3. Search / Graph Webparts : Manage background and contrast

The text contrast and background features from the recent Search/Graph display views have been added to the oldest views wherever possible. You can adjust the text contrast between Dark and Light modes, modify the background color, apply a blur effect, and set the background opacity. These enhancements give you more flexibility to align the design with your preferences.

4. Image Management : Be able to manage focal point

We’ve added a focus point feature for image placement across all features including image picker such as contribution, banner, welcome, and my profile.

When editing an image, you can now adjust its position with greater precision. By clicking on the controller, you can define a focus point, allowing you to move the image in the background and manage its placement effortlessly.
