Viva Topics To Be Retired

Microsoft recently announced the retirement of Viva Topics as they shift their focus towards building new knowledge and content experiences in Microsoft Copilot. As of February 22, 2025, Viva Topics will be retired and will no longer be accessible by users. However, any topic pages that have been published by users will continue to exist as standard SharePoint pages, which can be edited and updated just like any other SharePoint page. The Topics Center where the Topic pages are located will be converted into a standard SharePoint site and can be maintained and governed like any other SharePoint site.

Organizations are advised to pivot their knowledge management strategy immediately to other tools in Microsoft 365 such as SharePoint, Viva Answers, and Copilot & Microsoft Search. SharePoint continues to be a repository of knowledge, Viva Answers enables experts to answer questions, and Copilot & Microsoft Search enable knowledge discovery. Microsoft provides detailed information on this transition and its impact in the support documentation and FAQs, and organizations are recommended to refer to the new Knowledge Page on the Microsoft 365 Adoption Hub for adoption and guidance advice.
