explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Viva is introducing a new feature called Viva Glint, which aims to make it easier for administrators to import historical data into the platform. Think of it like moving your old files into a new filing cabinet. Previously, you might have needed multiple boxes and a complex system to organize everything. With this new feature, it's like having a more streamlined cabinet where you can place your files more efficiently, reducing the clutter and making it easier to find what you need.

This change simplifies the process by reducing the number of files required for these imports. Imagine if you had to submit a report with several attachments, but now you can consolidate everything into a single, more manageable document. This makes the task less daunting and more user-friendly, especially for those who may not be as tech-savvy.

By offering a self-service option, administrators have more control and flexibility. It's similar to having a self-checkout option at a grocery store. You can handle the process at your own pace without waiting for someone else to do it for you. This can be particularly beneficial in a busy work environment where time and efficiency are crucial.

Overall, this update is designed to enhance the user experience by making the process of importing historical data into Viva Glint more straightforward and less time-consuming.
