Many of you told us that creating, organizing, and sharing content in Engage could be easier and we’ve taken that to heart. We’re excited to announce that several highly requested features: draft and schedule posts, storyline cover photos and AMAs, featured posts and ‘post on behalf of’ are now available for all Engage customers.  These updates are designed to give employees more flexibility and help leaders and communicators share their messages more effectively.

Draft and Schedule Posts

We heard you, timing matters. Employees can now draft and schedule posts in their communities or storyline. Whether you want to plan for a big announcement or simply polish your message before sharing, this feature makes it simple to organize your posts and publish them when the moment is right.

New Storyline capabilities

Storyline Cover Photos

Storyline in Viva Engage is a personal feed where employees and leaders share updates, ideas, and experiences to connect and engage across the organization. Now, give your Storyline a more personal, branded look. With cover photos, everyone can customize the visual identity of their Storyline, helping their posts stand out and feel more connected to their organization’s culture.

Storyline Delegate Posting

Communication teams can now help leaders shine. With delegate posting or post on behalf of (POBO), designated communicators can draft and publish posts for leaders directly in their Storyline — keeping voices consistent and messages impactful. Read more about how to set up delegate posting here.

Storyline can be enabled for certain groups within your organization, empower leaders or subject matter experts to test these new experiences. Learn more about how to get the most out of Storyline in our Storyline playbook.

Featured Posts

Sometimes a message needs extra visibility. With featured posts, admins and corporate communicators can spotlight important content, so it reaches more people:

• Featured posts get priority placement in the Home Feed and in Discovery emails.
• They may also appear in digest emails and other recommendation slots powered by machine learning.
• In private communities, featured posts respect boundaries and are only shown to members of that community.

AMAs 

Employees want more direct access to leaders. With Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions, leaders can host open Q&As on their storyline, where employees can submit questions and comment anonymously, and get real-time responses, all in one familiar place. Organizers can also moderate questions and export them for analysis, making it easier than ever to understand what’s top of mind for employees. It’s a simple, authentic way to build trust and spark dialogue.

We’re thrilled to bring these new features to life and can’t wait to see how they empower you to connect, share, and lead more effectively across Viva Engage. Stay tuned—there’s even more innovation on the horizon.
