Microsoft Viva: Edit and schedule polls in Viva Engage

Starting in February 2025, customers with the Microsoft Viva suite or Microsoft Viva Communications and Communities premium licenses will see an option to schedule or edit a poll prior to publication.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 467251.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-February 2025 and expect to complete by late March 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout, users did not have a way to schedule polls in Engage.

After this rollout, premium-licensed users will have a new option in the publisher to schedule a poll post in the same location as other post types (discussion, question, praise, article). From their drafts, users can publish or edit a poll.

Users may also edit a poll prior to publication from their drafts. Users cannot edit poll posts, including voting options, after publication.

This feature will be available by default.

The new option to schedule or edit a poll prior to publication:

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date. There is no action for admins to enable or opt-in to this feature. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
