19. Yammer content in Viva Topic pages
#TeamsNation
Microsoft Viva Topics is a knowledge management system that connects knowledge and expertise across your
organization. It identifies topics and curates related information into wiki-like topic pages and topic cards within your
apps.
Yammer is integrating with and adopting Viva Topics to make community-sourced knowledge easily accessible across
an organisation and support a consistent experience in Microsoft 365. Among others, this provides the following
benefits for an organisation:
• Topics will mean and refer to the same thing whether in Yammer, Viva Topics, or elsewhere Microsoft 365.
• Premium Viva Topic experiences like topic cards will show in Yammer.
• Premium Viva Topic experiences like pages and cards will include content from Yammer such as questions and
answers, and conversations.
• Topics can be managed centrally.
• Permissions can be managed for who gets to create or edit topics.
Users with the appropriate licensing will see topics in Yammer enhanced with Viva Topics experiences, such as Viva
Topic cards, while unlicensed users can continue to use topics in Yammer the way they are used to. Only Yammer
networks in Native Mode networks are eligible for the premium Viva Topics experiences.
