At Microsoft, we believe that great communication is the heartbeat of a thriving organization. That’s why we’re excited to announce a powerful new set of features in Viva Amplify to give communicators more control, flexibility, and reach in their communications cascade than ever before.
Whether you're launching a global campaign or publishing a single news post, these updates make it easier to connect with your audience in meaningful ways, securely, efficiently, and at scale.
Sensitivity Labels: Secure Your Message with Confidence
Communications often carry varying levels of sensitivity, and now Viva Amplify gives you the tools to manage that with precision as you send your publications to email audiences. With the new ‘Sensitivity Labels’ integration in our email options, you can apply Microsoft Purview labels directly to your publications—ensuring that confidential content stays protected until it’s ready to be shared more broadly.
This is especially valuable for campaigns that evolve over time. Start with a high-sensitivity label during planning, then lower it when you're ready to publish. It’s seamless, secure, and built for the way communicators work.
CSV Upload of Email Recipients: Reach the Right People, Fast
Gone are the days of waiting for distribution groups to be created. With CSV Upload, you can now import recipient lists directly into Amplify to set your email recipients, starting with support for up to 200 recipients. This is a game-changer for teams that need to move quickly, whether you're targeting a rotating list of stakeholders or sending a one-off announcement to a curated audience.
This feature was built in response to real-world needs from customers who rely on dynamic, HR-driven targeting to reach employees with precision.

Groupless Campaigns: Simpler Setup, Same Power
We heard you loud and clear: not every campaign needs a Microsoft 365 Group and a Teams channel. With Groupless Campaigns, you can now create and manage campaigns without the overhead of a SharePoint site, Teams channel, or M365 group. This streamlines the experience for communicators who already have collaboration spaces and just want to get their message out—fast.
It’s a lighter, faster way to launch campaigns, and it’s especially helpful for organizations with strict governance policies or complex team structures.
These features are more than just enhancements; they’re a reflection of how we’re evolving Viva Amplify to meet the real needs of modern communicators. From security and scale to simplicity and speed, these latest updates are all about empowering you to do your best work.
