Microsoft Viva introduces a 'Save copy' button to easily copy publications within a campaign, enhancing content reuse and efficiency. The rollout begins late October 2024 and completes by late November 2024. The feature is available on desktop/web but not on mobile iOS & Android apps. No admin action is required for preparation.
Updated October 1, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Currently, Viva Amplify users have no easy way to reuse content that has previously been published in a campaign and often must copy and paste content from one publication to the next manually. Coming soon, a Viva Amplify user will be able to reuse content by copying an existing publication using a centralized ‘Save copy’ button available on any given campaign publication. This new feature streamlines the content creation process and maximizes efficiency for all communicators.

When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide):We will begin rolling out late October 2024 (previously late September) and expect to complete by late November 2024 (previously early October).
How this affects your organization:
Soon, Amplify users will be able to copy existing publications in a campaign regardless of the publication’s status. This feature is available for users in the web/desktop experience. Please note that Amplify on Mobile iOS & Android applications are out of scope currently.
The “save a copy” button is present under the ‘More options’ button in the campaign overview and publications tab where all the publications are present. Users can also access it when authoring right under the ‘Save and close’ button on the command bar. Please note that when a publication is copied, it will copy all content of the publication, including all channel customization across SharePoint, Teams and Outlook, as well as the audiences of the original publication if desired.
Additionally, for preview customers, the copy a publication feature does not support the ability to copy Viva Engage customized content. This will come as part of a separate release in the future.
What you can do to prepare:
There is no action for admins beyond reviewing any internal help or guidance you have may have created for end users.
