Viva Engage: New Articles feature

Articles are a new post type for Microsoft Viva Suite and Employee Communications and Communities customers in Viva Engage. Articles provides the flexibility to add rich media to a post, create longer-form posts, and use Viva Engage to blog. Corporate communicators can now enjoy the flexibility and simplicity of content creation directly in Viva Engage, with control over formatting and design. Articles can be viewed on any device.

Articles provide a simple way for leaders and employees to share their perspectives, insights, and knowledge with the organization, fostering a sense of connection and pride. Viva Engage also provides conversation and audience analytics for Articles, helping communicators and leaders understand what content resonates with employees and improve their communication strategies.
