In this guide, we'll learn how to create a post on Viva Engage. You will see how to choose the type of post, add text, mention people, and use formatting options. We will also look at how to make your post an announcement and check analytics after posting.

Let's get started

With this guide, I will show you how to create a post on Viva Engage. To do this, open Viva Engage from your bookmarks bar.

Next, open the community where you want to post.

Step #3: Click on "Glitter" — Click on "Glitter"

Watch out, there's something to consider.

I created GLITTA Inform and Engage for myself, so I wouldn't bother anyone with my current posts. Here we are. On the middle pane, you can choose to open a discussion, ask a question, give praise, or start a poll. I go in and want to start a discussion. Here, I can still switch between discussion, question, praise, and poll.

For now, we will focus on discussion. We can make it an announcement so everyone gets notified. You will also see a description of this feature below. We can then upload a picture.

Happy Friday! Everyone is looking forward to the weekend.
