summary for non-techies**
Microsoft is introducing a new tenant-level process report feature in its Purview eDiscovery tool by February 2026, providing administrators and managers with an overview of all eDiscovery processes, including their type, status, duration, and initiator, to enhance management and monitoring efficiency.
Direct effects for Operations**
Lack of Visibility in eDiscovery Processes
Without preparation, administrators may struggle to effectively monitor and manage eDiscovery processes, leading to potential oversight of critical activities and delays in issue resolution.
