Copilot Actions, rolling out

Copilot Actions has been available through Copilot Studio for some time, and now, a version of this feature is being rolled out within Microsoft 365. This new integration offers a user-friendly way to automate and delegate common tasks. The term "Actions" varies depending on the application. In Copilot Studio, it serves as a flexible tool for agents. By combining Copilot prompts and conversations, triggers (such as file modifications or scheduled reminders), and user-defined rules, Copilot Actions can generate artifacts that streamline workflows.

Viva Engage and a few other Viva updates

on

This feature was actually announced at Inspire this summer, but it has taken som time to hit our tenants. The roll-out started late August, and is close to being completed. Microsoft is serious about their "better together" story, and the "Communities" app on Teams is being replaced to reflect the new features coming to the users. The new app is called "Viva Engage", and introduces a better integration experience for the users. Everything about the update is documented in this blogpost at the Techcommunity.

On the topic of Viva, here is an update to Viva Learning.
Viva Learning cards are being introduced to the user's Viva dashboard. With this feature, users can easily discover learning tasks assigned to them and their current status. Dashboard admins can from mid-september add them to the user's Viva connection dashboards following these steps.

Finally, it is getting easier for Viva Learning Admins to manage the organization with the new "Admin tab" in the Teams app. This feature should already be in your tenant or just around the corner. There will be coming more Admin features in tis toolbox as the product evolves.
