Details:
Coming soon to Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management: We will increase policy creation limits from 20 policies per template to a maximum of 100 overall active policies. After the rollout, for example, an organization may have 50 data leak policy templates because the limit will now apply to all active policies instead of applying to each policy template.
