Today I found the new Delve App for Windows 10. In this post a complete overview of Delve.

So first of all what is Delve?

You might already be familiar with Delve in Office 365. It shows you all sorts of information related to your colleagues. So you can find out what they are up to. Which documents they have recently updated. And of course they can also see what you have been up to! Scary? Maybe a bit.

Download

So we can get started with the download of the app.

The App is still in Preview so a lot is likely to change.

The App

Once the app has been installed you have to log in and then you can see what Delve is all about.

The Delve App starts showing you all the popular documents within your network.

In the settings menu you can set your default opening page, language settings. How you want to view documents.

Additionally you can set if you want to receive Notifications every time someone uploads a document.

Finally you can clear the cache used by the app.
