Imagine you are in a large office building with many different departments, each with its own meeting rooms. Sometimes, a conversation or meeting that starts in one room might need to be moved to another room where it fits better, perhaps because the topic has changed or new people need to join in.

In the digital world, Microsoft Viva Engage is like this office building, and the "move conversation" feature is like the ability to pick up a meeting and take it to a different room. This feature allows conversations to be moved between different communities or groups within the platform.

Previously, only certain people like admins or community leaders could move these conversations, much like only managers or department heads might have the authority to decide where meetings should be held. With the new toggle feature, this control can be adjusted. When the toggle is enabled, anyone involved in the conversation can move it, similar to allowing any team member to decide if a meeting should be relocated to a more suitable room.

If the toggle is disabled, only specific roles like admins or community experts can move conversations, maintaining a more controlled environment. This is akin to having only the office manager or department head decide on room changes to ensure meetings are held in the most appropriate setting.

This feature gives organizations flexibility in how they manage conversations, allowing them to choose between a more open approach or a more controlled one, depending on their needs and preferences.
