Summary:

Details:
Introduction
Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) now supports document creation and modification conditions for SharePoint and OneDrive. These new conditions enable admins to define DLP and Information Protection auto-labeling policies based on when a file was created or last modified, allowing more precise data protection. Organizations can now better target newly created, recently updated, or older content that requires stricter governance.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 557590.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early April 2026 and expect to complete by mid-April 2026.

Data Governance Accuracy
Without proper preparation, the introduction of new DLP conditions may lead to misconfigured policies that either over-restrict or under-restrict access to files, impacting data governance accuracy.
