Details:
In February 2024 the retirement of Viva Topics (Changes coming to Topics) was announced. As part of that change, Viva Engage will return to a simplified topics model, called Engage topics, and the integration with Viva Topics will be retired.
The following premium Viva Topics experiences and lightweight topics management experiences will no longer be available in Viva Engage, including:
Viewing Viva Topics card when hovering on a topic
Viewing or using AI-discovered Viva Topics
Links to Viva Topics pages
Topic management via Viva Topics or lightweight topics management
Featuring of topics in Answers
Using Engage topics, users will continue to be able to create topics, add topics to posts, follow topics, edit topics they created, and increase the relevance of their feeds by following topics. Topic creators will gain the ability to delete topics they created. Applicable admins will continue to be able to edit topics and will gain the ability to delete topics within Viva Engage.
Organizations using Answers in Viva (Answers in Viva: Introduction) will continue to see additional topic capabilities including bulk topic deletion for admins, AI suggested topics for questions, topics promoted for following, and topic browse experiences. The described topic experiences will be available to Viva Engage tenants that have been migrated to Engage topics.
[When this will happen:]
Rollout will begin August 2024 and will complete for all tenants migrated to use Viva Topics in Viva Engage by April 2025. Tenants using legacy topics in Viva Engage will begin migrations in September 2024 and migrations will continue until all Native mode networks have been completed.
[Why is this change happening?]
As a result of the retirement of Viva Topics, Viva Engage will retire the integration with Viva Topics, but continue to support a simplified topics model to help organize, amplify, route, and recall knowledge posted with topics. To ensure customer data is retained we will migrate customer topics data from Viva Topics into Viva Engage to preserve topics applied to posts and associated Engage topic metadata such as followers, description and creator.
During the transition, we will stop topics migrations to use Viva Topics and Topics lightweight management but continue by-request migrations that enable Viva Engage networks to use Answers in Viva (Technical requirements).
