Summary:
Microsoft Viva Amplify is introducing a new Banner web part and updates to the title area, allowing for more layout options and the ability to remove the title area. Rollout begins mid-August 2024 with full availability by mid-September 2024. No admin action is required for this update.

Details:
Coming soon to Microsoft Viva Amplify: Improvements to the title area at the top of a publication.
The title area is now a full-width section containing the new Banner web part with new layouts.
The first banner at the top of the publication (in the full-width section) acts as a title and is automatically synchronized to the publication Title on the command bar at the top of the screen. Additional banners can be added to the publication content in the available columns.
Users will be able to remove the title area, which is no longer mandatory on a publication.
[When this will happen:]

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-August 2024 and expect to complete by early September 2024.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late August 2024 mid-September 2024.
