Hi, I agree this would be a useful publishing control, especially when Amplify content lands in SharePoint news-style surfaces.

 

The first workaround I would test is publishing to SharePoint, then opening the created page in the SharePoint site and checking Page details. In normal SharePoint pages you can often adjust the thumbnail and description/promo text there. The catch is that Amplify may manage or overwrite some page details when the campaign content is republished, so I would test it with a non-production campaign before relying on it.

 

If it does get overwritten, then this is probably a Viva Amplify product gap rather than a SharePoint setting. A preview/edit option for SharePoint thumbnail and description at publish time would be the cleaner feature request.
