Viva Topics leverages AI services from the Microsoft Cloud to pull together and surface knowledge for users to quickly and easily consume. More details on how Topics are discovered and curated can be found in the Microsoft Documentation. When a user navigates through Modern SharePoint pages or types a relevant query into Microsoft Search they are presented with a Topic Card that provides a summary for the specific subject the Topic covers. The end users simply view the details to dive deeper.

So what about security? The key point to know is that Viva Topics complies with an organisation’s Microsoft 365 security settings so that end users will only ever see content they already have permission to access. More details can be found in the Security and Privacy chapter of the docs.

Clear as mud? To help, I’ve created this 4 minute video to provide a concise overview of some of the main components of Topics and highlight where the cards are currently presented. Over time Topic Cards will start to appear across Microsoft 365 services such as Teams. There are also plans to link Topics to 3rd party content using Graph Connectors and future APIs will allow for new custom use cases.
