Answers-focused view in Viva Engage

Next month, more enhancements for Answers in Viva will be available for Microsoft Viva customers. A new Answers-focused view will be rolling out for organizations with limited Viva Engage communities to help focus their Viva Engage experience on asking and answers questions.

Organizations with two or fewer active Viva Engage communities will gain the ability for a global admin to hide Viva Engage experiences other than Answers. This helps organizations get the most out of the knowledge sharing capabilities of Answers in Viva, even if they aren’t ready to get started more broadly with Viva Engage.
