Microsoft Viva has introduced a new feature called Viva Glint, which is designed to enhance the survey process within organizations. Imagine you're organizing a large event, like a company picnic, and you've sent out invitations to all employees. However, you realize that a few people were accidentally left off the list. Instead of starting over or leaving them out, you can simply add them to the invitation list and send them the invite.

Similarly, with Viva Glint, if a survey is already live and you notice that some participants were not included, you don't have to worry about missing their valuable input. The Glint Admin can now go into the survey settings and update the list of participants. This means they can add those who were initially overlooked and ensure they receive the survey.

This update is particularly useful for large organizations where it's easy to miss someone in the initial distribution. By allowing changes to the participant list even after the survey has started, it ensures that everyone who should have a voice in the survey can participate. This flexibility helps in capturing a more comprehensive set of responses, leading to better insights and decisions based on the survey results.

In essence, this feature is like having the ability to send out a second round of invitations to those who were unintentionally left out, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to join in and share their thoughts.
