<p>We are expanding the availability of Viva Insights and Copilot Analytics capabilities in Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC, or GCC-M) and GCC High (GCC-H). Availability differs for a small number of capabilities by cloud, as noted below.</p>

• Adoption and Impact experiences will include supported Copilot usage and impact measures, group and app views, trends, and filters.<br>
• Analysts will gain access to additional Advanced Analysis reports and queries. Supported users will also have sharing, delegation, and report-publishing capabilities.<br>
Cloud-specific differences<br>
• GCC only: Adoption by app for Edge and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.<br>
• GCC High: Impact supports scope, organization, and time-period filters, but not license, job-function, or usage-level filters. Creating an analysis excludes Copilot.</p>
