Microsoft has made some updates to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, specifically in the area of eDiscovery. These updates focus on enhancing the metadata fields in reports that are generated during the export and review processes. Think of metadata as the labels on a package that tell you what's inside, where it came from, and where it's going. In this context, metadata provides important details about the digital items being handled.

With these enhancements, when you export data or add items to a review set, the reports will now include additional fields. For example, you'll see error details, which can help you understand if something went wrong during the process. There's also a field called "isEncrypted," which tells you whether the item is protected by encryption, much like a lock on a safe. Another new field is the "sensitivity label," which acts like a "handle with care" sticker, indicating how sensitive the information is and how it should be treated.

These updates are like getting a more detailed receipt when you shop online. Previously, you might have only seen the item name and price, but now you also get information about the shipping method, estimated delivery time, and any special handling instructions. This additional information can help you make better decisions and manage your data more effectively.

These enhancements are available across various Microsoft environments, including standard multi-tenant setups and specialized government clouds like GCC, GCC High, and DoD. They are designed to provide clearer insights and improve the overall efficiency of compliance and eDiscovery workflows.
