We have decided not to move forward with this change at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Teams enables search directly within the compose box using @mentions, allowing you to quickly find and insert Files, Chats, Channels, and Meetings without leaving your message. By extending @mentions beyond people, Teams provides a more unified and efficient way to reference content in context. This experience reduces context switching and helps streamline collaboration within conversations.
