M365 Changelog: Microsoft Viva Engage: Navigation enhancements

MC732105 – Microsoft is rolling out enhanced navigation for Microsoft Viva Engage. Your valuable feedback pointed out inconsistencies in Viva Engage navigation in Microsoft Teams, integrations with Microsoft Outlook, and Viva Engage for the web, and we listened.

This rollout is for all Viva Engage licensed organizations, but organizations licensed with the Viva Communications and Communities bundle and Viva Suite will see changes to additional modules. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 386905.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-March 2024 and expect to complete by late March 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

We realigned the navigation to ensure a seamless experience for all users, and we focused on making modules and features easily accessible.

These screenshots show the new module locations (for organizations licensed with the Viva Communications and Communities bundle and Viva Suite) compared to the previous setup for both Viva Engage for the web and integrations with Teams and Outlook. Note: Specific modules may vary based on your Viva Engage licensing, but the core functionality now applies to all licenses universally.
