Explore what you can do with your skills

Microsoft 365 profile card 

Use the profile card to learn about others and share the information you want others to know about you. There's a section on the Overview tab in your profile card to showcase your skills. 

On the Overview tab, you see a section for Skills below Contact info.  What others see in that section depends on your sharing settings. For most people, skills are shared by default. Skills that you confirm are distinguished from skills that are added by AI or imported by your organization. The following screenshot is an example of how someone else may see your card. 

You can curate your skills profile and manage your sharing settings by selecting Update your profile on the profile card. 

You can see skills on the profile card in Outlook web app, the new Outlook for Windows, Office.com, Microsoft 365 Copilot, SharePoint, and People Companion. You can access the profile card in multiple ways. For example:

1. Open your profile card in the Outlook web app or the new Outlook for Windows by searching for your own name.  

2. In the dropdown menu, select the profile icon that appears to the right of your name to open your profile card. 

Microsoft 365 Copilot 

If you use Microsoft 365 Copilot, skills you share with others appear when people ask Copilot about you. You can ask Copilot about the skills of others to help you better connect, find the right person for a specific need, and discover new opportunities.  

For example, try asking Copilot: 

Who is [person]? 

What skills does [person] have? 

Who can help me with [skill name]?
