To forward a message containing an app card, simply navigate to the More Actions menu of any message containing an app card and select forward. From here, the forward message dialog will populate, which provides users with a preview of the message being forwarded, including the app card.

Please note: Forwarding of bot cards is excluded from this release.

Viva Engage: Designated experts in Communities MC956390 Published Dec 13, 2024

We are introducing the Community Expert feature in Microsoft Viva Engage to enhance the trust and utility of knowledge in your communities. Experts will be able to endorse accurate and credible answers and be recognized as community experts with a special label next to their name.

A community expert is a member of a community who is assigned or approved by a community admin to serve as a subject matter expert within a specific community. A community expert has special capabilities, such as marking the best answer, marking a verified answer (coming separately and soon after with the launch of Community Experts), and pinning posts. However, a community expert does not have the ability to manage members, assign roles, and so on like a community admin. Additionally, they are given a label strictly within that community that says “Community Expert.”

Note: Community expertise is determined by community admins within your organizations, not Microsoft. Microsoft does not have the ability to define a community expert in your organization.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 408164.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early January 2025 and expect to complete by late February 2025.
