A year afterevolving from Yammer to Viva Engage, Microsoft’s work-place social media solution gains the long-awaited ability for users to craft articles or long-form pieces that adhere to company formatting and design requirements.

Enterprise customers with Microsoft Viva or Employee Communications and Communities licenses will now be able toview, react, and respond to shared Articlesposted by other employees or executives within Viva Engage.

While many admins may be reluctant to roll out Articles access given support for SharePoint news is already a thing, Microsoft encourages the use of Articles for anyone who wants more granular analytics on how engaging a post has become.

Another benefit of using Articles is the additional controls over how each post is formatted and designed including the inclusion of quotes, rich media, and code inserts.

Other features of Articles in Viva Engage include:

The average employee may never encounter Viva Engage, but the fact that Microsoft continues to show the platform love after Yammer’s stagnant existence signifies there is business there for the company and perhaps a funnel of experience and development that will surface in a service or product many do end up using regularly.
