Viva Learning: Academy Auto Save and Draft
Viva Learning premium admins now have Auto-Save and Draft Mode for Academies, allowing background saving and editing published Academies without affecting the live version until published. Additional features include discarding drafts, duplicating sections, and previewing. Rollout begins early August with no configuration needed. We’re introducing two new capabilities for Viva Learning premium licensed admins: Auto-Save: Changes made to new, draft, or published Academies are now automatically saved in the background—even when switching tabs within or outside Viva Learning. Draft Mode for Published Academies: Updates to published Academies are saved in a draft state until the admin chooses to publish. The live version remains unchanged until explicitly updated.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 492741 When this will happen General Availability (GA) begins rollout worldwide (WW) in the first week of August, with full rollout expected by the second week of August. How this affects your organization Admins can now edit published Academies without affecting the live version until they choose to publish. Auto-save ensures changes are preserved even if the admin navigates away or switches tabs. Admins can discard draft changes and restore the original published version. Additional capabilities include duplicating sections/sub-sections and previewing Academies without saving changes. This feature is on by default for Viva Learning premium licensed admins. What you can do to prepare No configuration is required. Admins may refer to internal documentation or training materials to familiarize themselves with the new editing workflows. Review: Manage academies in Viva Learning Compliance considerations No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization. Message ID: MC1133510
