explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft is moving the "Report conversations" feature from the old Yammer admin center to the new Microsoft Engage admin center. Think of this change like moving a tool from one drawer to another in your office. The tool itself doesn't change, and you still use it the same way, but now you know where to find it in a new, perhaps more organized, location.

For those managing the system, this means you will now go to the new Engage admin center to configure the feature. You can still set up how you want to receive notifications when users report conversations, and you can decide what message users see when they submit a report. It's like updating the address book in your phone; the contacts remain the same, but you might find them under a new app or interface.

This move is scheduled to happen automatically between mid-May and late June 2025, and there's no need for immediate action on your part. It's a seamless transition, similar to when a new version of an app updates overnight without you having to do anything. However, it might be a good idea to inform your team about this change and update any internal guides or documentation to reflect the new location of the feature.

Overall, the functionality and the way users interact with the "Report conversations" feature remain unchanged. It's simply a matter of finding it in a new place within the Microsoft ecosystem.
