explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance is set to undergo an infrastructure upgrade early in 2026. Think of this upgrade like renovating a busy office building. During the renovation, the building remains open, but you might notice some temporary inconveniences like slower elevator service or occasional noise. Similarly, while this upgrade is happening, you might experience some delays and minor errors when using the Purview Communication Compliance tools.
From January 5 to February 28, 2026, the system will be transitioning to a new infrastructure. This means that while the core functions will continue to operate, certain tasks like updating policy insights or generating reports might take a bit longer than usual. Imagine it as a temporary traffic jam on your usual commute; you’ll still reach your destination, just not as quickly as you’re used to.
Admins who manage these compliance tools should be aware that there might be short delays in receiving alerts or accessing flagged messages. It's like waiting a little longer for a package to arrive during a busy holiday season. Rest assured, though, that no data will be lost during this period—everything will still be there, just taking a bit more time to process.
While no immediate action is required from administrators, it’s a good idea to inform your teams about these potential slowdowns. This way, everyone is prepared and can plan accordingly, much like letting employees know about a temporary road closure on their way to work. The upgrade is scheduled outside of normal business hours to minimize disruption, but global teams might still notice some impact during their active hours.
Overall, this is a planned and temporary situation aimed at improving the system in the long run. Keeping your teams informed will help manage expectations and ensure a smooth transition during this period.
