VIVA Connections & SharePoint
When setting up VIVA Connections with a connections experience, you are required to make this a home site for it to be visible on the Connections app in Teams.
What I can't see to find clarity on is the below -
If a company has an existing SharePoint homepage that everyone accesses will that be changed when the new experience is set as the home page or does it depend on who it is targeted to?
- 1. No you don't need to make a homesite, you can have just the Connection dashboard
2. It needs to be new experience to be a Homesite, Nothing will change on the site when setting homesite.
