| MC1143996 | (Updated) Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Data Loss Prevention - Upcoming Change to DLP Alert Settings | We've identified that a few tenants have one or more DLP rules with alert generation enabled in the Microsoft Purview portal, but the corresponding alert action was disabled or removed using PowerShell cmdlets. To align portal behavior with PowerShell configurations, Microsoft will automatically disable the alert generation toggle in the Purview portal for these rules. The rules will remain active and continue to enforce DLP actions, but alerts will no longer be generated unless reconfigured. This change does not impact the enforcement of DLP policies-only the alert generation behavior. What you can do to prepare No admin action is required unless you want to continue receiving alerts for affected rules. To re-enable alert generation: Open the rule in the Purview portal, make any update, and save the configuration. Use PowerShell to re-enable alert generation for the rule. You can refer to the following cmdlet documentation for guidance: Set-ProtectionAlert Set-DlpComplianceRule Compliance considerations Compliance AreaImpact Alters how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessedAlert for affected DLP rule actions will no longer be generated unless explicitly re-enabled. Modifies Purview capabilitiesAlert generation for DLP rules will be disabled in the portal if previously removed via PowerShell. Alters how admins can monitor, report on, or demonstrate compliance activitiesAdmins may see fewer alerts in Purview reporting unless rules are reconfigured. Includes an admin controlAdmins can re-enable alert generation via portal or PowerShell. Allows user to enable/disable the featureAdmins can toggle alert generation per rule. |
To ensure consistency we will update the DLP rule to remove Generate Alert as an action. Since alerts were disabled using Protection Alert PowerShell cmdlets there will be no change in alert generation behavior for corresponding DLP rule and policy. We are only ensuring there is consistency between DLP rules (with Generate Alert as an action) and their corresponding Alert policies (protection alert) What you can do to prepare: If you wish to receive alerts for these rules, please take one of the following actions: Open the rule in the Purview portal, make any update, and save the configuration. Use the PowerShell cmdlet "Set-DlpComplianceRule" to re-enable alert generation for the rule. (Learn more).

| MC1111778 | (Updated) Microsoft Purview | Information Protection: Sensitivity label grouping modernization | Updated September 10, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. Coming soon to Microsoft Purview | Information Protection: To help improve label usability and configuration, the sensitivity labeling scheme will be simplified to only consist of labels and label groupings. This move to a dynamic architecture will make it easier to move a child label into label groups, out of label groups, and between label groups without losing referential integrity, allowing customers to better scale and reorganize their labels across their entire data estate. Tenants in scope for manual migration to the new label scheme will see a message on the Sensitivity labels page in the Purview portal, where the tenant admin can access a simple manual migration wizard to opt in to the migration, which should complete in less than a few minutes or even seconds, depending on the label configuration. If you do not see this message, your tenant does not meet the criteria for manual migration (your tenant lacks applicable parent labels). This new label scheme will be rolled out to your tenant in the coming months. (and we will send a separate MC post in advance). |

Chat is not automatically grounded in the organization's graph or the user's personal graph - this is only available for users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license when using Chat in Work scope. |
