We are introducing a new Activity column in OneDrive My Files list view. The goal of this feature is to help users stay up-to-date on the files that they are working on with others by surfacing relevant activity information. We will show file activity related to actions, such as, user comments, edits, share, and @mentions. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 88913.

When you navigate to the “My Files” page in OneDrive for Business Web, you’ll see an Activity column that shows which of your shared documents have unseen edits and comment.

There is no impact to your organization. This feature will be delivered as a user interface update in the form of an additional column in My Files list view with activity information related to files (e.g., file shared, user comment, @mentions).

What you need to do to prepare

There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
