More details are available on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 485765.
Details:
Microsoft Purview's content explorer in the compliance portal is the centralized place for you to natively view the items that were summarized on the overview page. Before this rollout, for Microsoft Exchange Online, we only show the email message body. When attachments are flagged for sensitive data, you could not see the attachment unless you downloaded it. After this rollout, admins will be able to preview email attachments directly from content explorer.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 485765.
[When this will happen:]
Public Preview: We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late June 2025 and expect to complete by early July 2025.
