Viva topics is a bit glitchy. It took a long time (over night) to fully provision and longer to start getting topics. Now, I edit a topic and then I go back into it and the edits are not in there. It is like in a limbo copy that is going through some plumping. My topic list says last updated 23 hours ago? I guess there is some batch processing on the back end? Also, I edited a Topic and hit Publish. That does not make it Published though, so maybe the button needs to be renamed Save? To publish, you have to go to the list and hit the little check mark? Or maybe related to the delay above, maybe the Publish button does Publish but it takes a while to take effect? It feels like the backend services need more horsepower.
