Microsoft Viva: Viva Learning - Sync provider data from a specific date range

🚨 The Signal: Admins can now sync Viva Learning provider data from a specific date range, rather than a full sync. This reduces data transfer volume and potential exposure of historical learning records.

The Impact

Admins are affected, with a minor security improvement due to reduced data exposure.

• Admins: Can now limit the scope of learning data synced, reducing unnecessary data ingestion.
• Security Teams: Benefit from a reduced attack surface due to less historical data being synchronised.
• Compliance Teams: Can better align data retention policies by only syncing relevant date ranges.

The Action

1. Navigate to the Viva Learning admin portal.
2. When configuring or editing a learning provider, locate the data synchronisation settings.
3. Specify the desired date range for data ingestion instead of performing a full sync.
