Microsoft Viva - Viva Glint: Navigation improvements in Reporting

Viva Glint Reporting will improve navigation by replacing the "Go Back" link with a feature allowing users to drill down and up within reports, returning to the previous report state instead of the home page. This will roll out globally in February 2026, enabled by default with no admin action needed.

[Introduction]

Viva Glint Reporting users like managers and leaders will be able to retrace their navigation flow i.e. drill down and drill up in reports rather than lose their navigation flow within reports. Navigation improvements will replace "Go Back" to Reporting home page with an alternative clickable UX to enable users to go back to the last page of reporting they were in. In other words, this feature will cater to Back navigation improvements in Reporting.
