  • During the live event, post any questions or comments on the event page in Viva Engage. 

  • After the event is over, if you have any follow-up questions or comments to add, go back to the event page in Viva Engage. Enter your message on the event page, so everyone knows your question or comment is related to the event. 

For any question you ask, you can view replies and mark one as the best answer. For any question that has a best answer listed, hover over the answer to see who posted the best answer.
