Imagine you're working on a big case, and your desk is cluttered with papers, files, and notes. It's hard to find what you need quickly, and the mess can slow you down. Now, picture a new desk setup where everything is organized, and you have more space to spread out your work. You can easily see all your important documents and focus on what's most critical without distractions. This is similar to the changes happening in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal for Insider Risk Management.

The recent updates to the alert investigation workflow are like reorganizing your workspace. The enhancements allow users to maximize the visual space available for investigations, making it easier to see all the necessary information without unnecessary clutter. By adding minimize and maximize buttons to each component, users can focus on specific details when needed and hide them when they're not, much like pulling out a specific file from a drawer and putting it back when done.

Additionally, the horizontal banner on the Alerts pages is now hidden by default, reducing visual noise and allowing users to concentrate on the most important parts of their investigation. It's akin to removing sticky notes and reminders from your computer screen so you can focus on the document you're drafting.

The All Risk Factors page has also been enhanced for a better user experience, similar to having a well-organized index or table of contents that helps you quickly find the information you need. These changes are designed to streamline the process, making it more efficient and user-friendly, much like having a tidy, well-organized workspace that helps you work more effectively.
