Issue Status: ONGOING

Issue Description: Users may encounter errors when attempting to create a post in Microsoft Viva Engage directly from a SharePoint page.

More info: The error may occur specifically when using the “Promote to Viva Engage” feature.

To circumvent impact while the fix is in progress, users can copy the SharePoint page URL and start the post directly within Viva Engage.

Current Update: 24/12/2025 08:33:00 AM – Due to the complexity of the fix, additional testing is required before Microsoft is ready to start deploying the code solution to address the conflict between the two SharePoint Online web parts. They now anticipate that the deployment will begin by their next scheduled communications update.

Scope of impact: Users attempting to use the “Promote to Viva Engage” feature through a SharePoint Page may encounter errors in their endeavor to do so.

Root cause: A conflict resulting from two SharePoint web parts which render on the same page, is resulting in impact.
