These articles will be accessible under the Unread pill in the News tab within Viva Connections.
This feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 498323.
When this will happen

- No admin action is required. The rollout is automatic.
- Admins may wish to inform users about the new notification and how to manage it in Teams settings.
