[Introduction]
We’re introducing a new admin settings export in Viva Engage, helping organizations meet regulatory requirements by making key admin configuration data easily accessible and portable. Additionally, the network data export file has also been updated to include visibility into users placed in view-only mode in Engage and corporate communicators assigned the advanced moderation permission.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late January 2026 and expect to complete by mid-February 2026.
[How this affects your organization:]

How it works:
- Where to find it: Engage Admin Center → Governance & Compliance → Data Management
