explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you have a large filing cabinet filled with employee feedback forms from various surveys conducted over the years. Each form is neatly organized based on different attributes like department, job role, or location. Now, suppose you realize that some of these attributes need updating because there have been changes in the organization, such as department restructures or role reclassifications. Traditionally, you would have to go through each form manually, making the necessary updates—a time-consuming and tedious task.

Microsoft Viva Glint's new feature is like having a smart assistant that can quickly and easily update these attributes for you. Instead of manually sifting through each form, this feature provides a user-friendly wizard that guides you through the process. It's akin to having a digital helper that asks you a few simple questions and then does all the heavy lifting, ensuring that your survey data reflects the most current organizational structure.

The beauty of this new feature is that it eliminates the need for cumbersome file uploads. Imagine not having to deal with stacks of paper or complex spreadsheets. Instead, it's like having a magic button that, with a few clicks, updates everything retroactively, ensuring your data is accurate and up-to-date without the hassle.

This streamlined process is designed to be intuitive, much like using a GPS that recalibrates your route with minimal input from you. It simplifies what used to be a complex task, allowing administrators to focus on more strategic activities rather than getting bogged down in data management. In essence, Microsoft Viva Glint's self-service for retroactive updates transforms a once daunting task into a seamless experience, much like turning a maze into a straight path.
