## The New Directory 📖

The Everyone page is now called **Directory**. It gives you a phone-book view, so you can browse people alphabetically without having to search. Existing bookmarks still work.

On your phone:

- 🔤 An alphabet bar down the side, like the one in iPhone contacts, for fast scrolling
- 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Faces shown two per row

A few more things you'll notice:

- 🗂️ The sidebar is grouped into ways to see people, organization structure, and fields
- 🔀 A directory switcher at the top of the sidebar, if you belong to more than one directory
- 🧰 Count, Group by, and Sort on the left of the toolbar, with actions and views on the right
- 📱 List view drops lower-priority columns on narrow screens, so the page no longer scrolls sideways
- 👤 Profile cards fit any screen width and open over a lighter overlay

## Coming Soon: OneDirectory in Microsoft Teams 💬

The OneDirectory app for Microsoft Teams is in beta. 

Your directory and org chart open from the Teams sidebar, so you can look someone up, check who they report to, and get back to the conversation without leaving Teams.

It signs in the same way as the web app and will be included in your plan at no extra cost.

👉 **Want early access?** Reply to this email and we'll send your Teams admin the app to roll out to your organization during the beta.

## Org Chart Mini Map 🗺️

A mini map now sits in the bottom-right corner of the chart and shows the whole thing at once, with a blue outline marking the part you're looking at.

- 🔄 The outline follows you as you pan, zoom, expand, and collapse
- 🖱️ Drag the outline, or click anywhere on the map, to jump straight to that part of the chart
- 🔵 People you find with **Find in chart** or **Highlight path** show up in blue on the map

The mini map is available now to everyone in your directory.

## How a Premier League Club Uses Org Charts ⚽

A Premier League club we work with runs more than 100 departments across just over 600 staff. That's a department for every six people.

One company-wide chart couldn't show how the club actually works, so it runs three views instead:

- ⚽ **Football operations:** first team, coaching, medical, performance, scouting, academy, and match support
- 💼 **Business operations:** finance, legal, marketing, sales, hospitality, retail, ticketing, IT, and facilities
- 🏟️ **Departments:** all 100+ of the club's departments in one browsable view

Every view updates automatically, so nobody redraws a chart when the club reorganizes. If you're setting up multiple org charts for your own divisions or regions, it's a useful model to copy.
