People Web Part Overview
With the introduction of the People Web Part to modern pages, teams have the ability to highlight relevant team members to ensure easy access to this personal information directly from a home page.
Throughout the SharePoint Modern experience, we begin to see the use of People Cards when an individual is referenced within a site. These cards are great ways for providing accessible information related to the Contact Information, Biography, Organizational Structure, Relevant Files, and event LinkedIn information for an individual.
Whether you choose to highlight leadership within a department or a key members of a project team, we can easily surface this information through compact or descriptive views using this functionality.
