Learners can now unfurl Learning Paths directly in Viva Learning Academy 2.0
Viva Learning Academy 2.0 now allows learners to unfurl Learning Paths directly within the Academy interface, improving access and navigation. This feature, enabled by default, rolls out worldwide from mid to late October 2025 for users with Viva Learning premium or Microsoft 365 licenses, requiring no admin changes.
Introduction
To improve discoverability and reduce navigation friction, Viva Learning Academy 2.0 is introducing the ability for learners to unfurl Learning Paths directly within the Academy interface. This enhancement aligns with customer feedback requesting more intuitive access to course content and supports a more seamless learning experience.
