M365 Changelog: Microsoft Viva: Viva Amplify – Copy a publication within a campaign – Aug 22, 2024

Summary

Microsoft Viva Amplify will soon introduce a 'Save copy' button to easily copy publications within a campaign, enhancing content reuse and efficiency. This feature will roll out between late September and early October 2024, initially excluding mobile apps and Viva Engage customized content.

MC868912 – Currently, Viva Amplify users have no easy way to reuse content that has previously been published in a campaign and often must copy and paste content from one publication to the next manually. Coming soon, a Viva Amplify user will be able to reuse content by copying an existing publication using a centralized ‘Save copy’ button available on any given campaign publication. This new feature streamlines the content creation process and maximizes efficiency for all communicators.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): Microsoft will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expects to complete by early October 2024.

How this affects your organization:

Soon, Amplify users will be able to copy existing publications in a campaign regardless of the publication’s status. This feature is available for users in the web/desktop experience. Please note that Amplify on Mobile iOS & Android applications are out of scope currently.

The “save a copy” button is present under the ‘More options’ button in the campaign overview and publications tab where all the publications are present. Users can also access it when authoring right under the ‘Save and close’ button on the command bar. Please note that when a publication is copied, it will copy all content of the publication, including all channel customization across SharePoint, Teams and Outlook, as well as the audiences of the original publication if desired. 

Additionally, for preview customers, the copy a publication feature does not support the ability to copy Viva Engage customized content. This will come as part of a separate release in the future.  

What you can do to prepare:

There is no action for admins beyond reviewing any internal help or guidance you have may have created for end users.
