Thanks for your thoughts and excitement for Answers as we get closer to general availability.
Some responses to your questions:
- Re: "Group for Answers in Viva Engage" - yes, this backing group is related to Answers, but the creation of the group was a bug that was resolved yesterday. Please let us know if you are still seeing backing groups for Answers in advance to its launch.
- Answers licensing has not been announced, but as the article describes Answers and Viva Topics are closely integrated.
- Answers does not have limits by audience or Viva Topic. Every question in Answers will require at least one topic. Topics help organize content in Answers, and following or interacting with topics provides more relevant feeds and digests. Additional signals to improve the accuracy of question routing will continue to be refined as we learn more about how Answers is used.
Thank you for your questions about Answers for Microsoft Viva!
