An official community is one that is created, sponsored, or recognized by an organization as speaking on their behalf. Marking a community as official builds trust and creates legitimacy over the conversations and content shared within it.

Many organizations already create and manage communities for this purpose, but network admins can now designate specific communities recognized by the organization as Official.

Official status, represented by a "verified" icon (image of the Verified icon, depicting a check mark), is also a helpful guide to employees and members of other Viva Engage communities who are using Search to find the correct community.
