Manage participants on an S5 conference call

Okay,...got a little surprise when attempting to "manage" participants on a 3 way conference call. Just got an S5 from Verizon and assumed it had the same "manage" button as the S4, so that one can select which conference call participant to hang up on, etc. Well,...I did a three way call to show this function to a friend and was very surprised that there is no option to manage the participants as on the S4. This was the main reason I upgraded from the S3 to the S5, but I guess I wrongly assumed it would be offered on the S5. The only possibility I can think of is that maybe it's hidden in another menu or something. Can someone offer some help on this? Thanks in advance.
 
As a Verizon Customer who has only had the 'S' model and now the 'S5' model, the only 'reward' you get from trying to loose anyone conferenced into a call is to end all calls period.

BUT, the 'reward' if you will, is that the phone will ring you back and reconnect you to the guy who is still waiting on you and then you can continue the conversation.

Awkward to say the least, but "most of the time" it works.

I now just SWAP to the guy I want to talk to and forget the other guy, he will drop off on his own, I hear the noises of him dropping off, but the first guy is still there and we talk on and on.
