In Delve, you can use boards to group and share related documents. You can, for example, create a board to collect all project documents for your team. Boards make it easy to collect and discover content, and they are easy to share with others, too.

You can also keep track of documents in Delve by adding them to your Favorites. If you find a document you want to save for later, click the bookmark icon in the lower left corner to add it to your favorites.

You can also share and give others access to individual documents from Delve.

Create a board and add documents

Boards are open to everyone in your organization, and you can see, add documents to, or remove documents from any board in Delve. If a board has documents that you don't have access to, those documents will not show up for you. If you create a board and add documents that only you or a few people have access to, no one else will see the documents, but they may see the board name.

  1. On a card you want to add to the board, click the board icon in the bottom left corner.

    Click icon to add the document to a board or see which boards the document has been added to

  2. In the dialog box that opens, in the Add to board box, enter a board name. As you start typing, you'll see the names of existing boards.

    • To create a new board and add the card, type a board name that doesn't already exist.

    • To add the card to an existing board, type or select the name of that board.

When you add documents to a board, the documents will show up for others within a few minutes. And of course, they'll show up only for those people who have access to the documents.

Note: Not all content types can be added to boards. If the board icon isn't available on a card, you can't add that content type to a board.
