Admins will also have the ability to turn off this feature through their admin portal.

When this will happen:

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out mid-April 2023, and will complete the rollout by late April. 

How this will affect your organization:

Users will be able to @mention someone just using their first name/last name. This change would be available on web, and on mobile.

Admins will also have the ability to turn off this feature through their admin portal.

What you need to do to prepare:

Raising awareness that this feature is now available within Engage might be helpful for existing users. but outside of that, since this is a long asked for improvement on an existing feature, you will not need to do much to prepare.
