As communicated in MC948979 Microsoft Viva Pulse experience will be included with Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription (December 2024), Microsoft Viva Pulse authors can use new templates specific to Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness, Adoption, and Impact to measure employee sentiment around their organization's Copilot adoption. These templates will be available as part of your Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription as well. Based on the customer feedback, this rollout introduces the ability for admins to configure who in their tenant will have access to this feature.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.
