@Ravish Rao Thank you for reaching out.

This is a manual process that involves PM needing to get confirmation on the scope of the preview. You will need to create a support ticket so we can enable this at the back end for your subscription.

 A few things to keep in mind with this preview: 

1. Previews should not be used for productions use cases. 
2. Only new collections created after the preview was enabled will have the new 16MB document limit. Older collections will still have the 2MB limit. 
3. Large documents (>2MB) will not be restored in a backup/restore operation. This will be fixed before GA. 

This is **no*w GA

 General availability: 16MB limit per document in Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB | Azure updates | Microsoft Azure

Best, Oury

You need to enable the capability EnableMongo16MBDocumentSupport on your Mongo RU account
