Coming soon: The Report conversations feature configuration will soon be available in the new Microsoft Engage admin center, moved from the legacy Microsoft Yammer admin center. This feature allows admins to set up a reporting mechanism for Engage conversations in their network. There are no functional changes with this release to the new Microsoft Engage admin center. This rollout will not affect or change the user experience for end-users looking to report conversations.

This message applies to Viva Engage for the web.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-May 2025 and expect to complete by late June 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

After this rollout, the Report conversations feature will let users proactively raise awareness about content in an Engage network. Admins configure the feature for their networks, including selecting an email inbox to receive report notifications and the explainer text that displays to users when they submit content for review.

The migration to the new admin center maintains all features and functionality from the previous location. This new feature is off by default. No opt-in is needed. Network admins and higher levels of admin will continue to have access to feature configuration.

Before the rollout, network admins, verified admins, and Engage admins can check their admin center to confirm the feature is available and set up in their tenant. After the rollout, check the new Engage admin center for further configuration. The migration will not affect existing configurations in your tenant.

The migration only affects the location and general look-and-feel of the admin configuration feature

Admins can configure the feature in the new location in Viva Engage Admin center > Tenant settings > Conversation settings > Report conversations:

    The upcoming rollout of the “Report conversations” feature in the new Microsoft Viva Engage admin center is set to make quite the splash! For admins, this means a streamlined process for managing conversations within their networks. By moving this feature from the legacy Yammer admin center, Microsoft is enhancing the user experience while keeping the functionality intact. Admins will now have the ability to configure how reports are handled, including selecting an email inbox for notifications and customizing the messages that users see when reporting content. This flexibility will undoubtedly empower admins to foster a more engaged and accountable community.

    For users, the experience remains largely unchanged—no need to panic! They will still be able to report conversations just as they did before, but now with the added assurance that their concerns are being actively monitored and addressed. It’s a win-win situation that promotes a healthier dialogue within the platform.

    The impact of these changes is likely to be significant. Admins will appreciate the enhanced control and oversight, while users will benefit from a clearer channel for raising issues. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a bit of user empowerment? As we all know, a happy user base is often the backbone of a successful platform.

    As we await this rollout, which starts in mid-May 2025 and wraps up by late June 2025, it’s a great time for everyone to reflect on how these changes might affect their own experiences. Will you be taking advantage of the new configuration options, or do you foresee any challenges?
