Hey all,

A message center post and help article should be rolling out soon :) We provided an admin switch as we know that some customers may have third party integrations that won't yet support the new link format. The post will have more details. Thanks!

    No, the new option was available and active in both release modes. I verified the url format in both modes. The option was retracted and the url changed to the old, known format.
