Adaptive Protection integration with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention will soon be available for government clouds (GCC, GCC High, and DoD). This integration enables admins with the appropriate access to change, create, update, and delete policies, and to configure policies where users are automatically included in the scope of data loss prevention (DLP) policies based on insider risk levels. For example, a DLP policy integrated with insider risk levels will prevent high-risk users from printing sensitive data, while allowing low-risk users to do so.

A modernized new user experience (UX) for Microsoft Purview eDiscovery will be available in the Purview portal. In this new UX experience, Content Search, eDiscovery Standard, and eDiscovery Premium are unified so that users can now navigate a shared workflow that simplifies the transition between non-premium and premium features. This UX modernization also introduces features that enhance the eDiscovery process. Some of these new features include:

• This new experience enhances Content Search security by placing all searches in an eDiscovery case. eDiscovery administrators and managers will have default access, with the ability to manage membership and control access to content searches. Users who are not eDiscovery administrators or managers will need to request to be added as case member in order to access content search. 
• Enhanced search efficiency with message ID and sensitivity labels for faster access to information.
• Use of the improved search by Sensitive Information Type (SIT) interface for user-friendly selection without manual input.
• Advanced Data Source Mapping allows linking a user’s OneDrive using input such as the user’s mailbox Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address or user’s name, streamlining data retrieval and management.
• Acceleration through powerful investigation capabilities, such as user’s frequent collaborators, providing a comprehensive view of the user’s networks.
• Data Source Sync: Stay updated with the new Data Source synchronization feature, which allows users to easily track any new or removed data locations, ensuring that eDiscovery investigations remain aligned with the latest data source landscape.
• Introduction of the new visual Statistics allows users to gain insights at a glance (such as Results containing Sensitive Information Types, top communication participants, etc.)  
• Monitor long-running processes with an informed and transparent progress bar with the option to cancel (for certain process types) if needed.
• Obtain a full process report for all actions taken, such as statistics for holds and exports, bolstering the defensibility of your eDiscovery efforts.
• Customize your exports with new settings, including the option to export as a single PST file path truncation and the use of friendly names to make exported data more accessible.

Updated January 8, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

In February 2024, the retirement of Viva Topics was announced. As part of the change, Viva Engage will return to a simplified topics model, called Engage topics, and the integration with Viva Topics will be retired. This message is for customers who have tenants with topics data that currently resides in Viva Topics or Topics lightweight management and who are not licensed to use Viva Topics.

In November 2024, your organization’s topics data will be migrated to reside in Viva Engage. Migrations for all tenants notified will be completed by the end of November. During the migrations employees should not experience any degradation in their core topics experiences, including the ability to create topics, add topics to posts, follow topics, edit topics they created and increase the relevance of their feeds by following topics.

After the migration, topic creators will gain the ability to delete topics they created. Applicable admins will continue to edit topics and will gain the ability to delete topics within Viva Engage.

[Why is this change happening?]

As a result of the retirement of Viva Topics, Viva Engage will deprecate the integration with Viva Topics, but continue to support a simplified topics model to help organize, amplify, route and recall knowledge posted with topics. To ensure customer data is retained we will migrate customer topics data from Viva Topics or Lightweight Topics into Viva Engage to preserve topics applied to posts and associated Engage topic metadata such as followers, topic description and creator.

Learn more about the migration to Viva Topics, the Topics experience, and the Topics retirement.

[When this will happen:]

Rollout will begin in early November 2024 and will complete for all tenants notified by late January 2025 (previously December).

[How this will affect your organization:]

During the migration, the experience of people using topics should not be disrupted. 

All topics used in Viva Engage that were Lightweight Topics or Viva Topics will be migrated to Engage topics the only exceptions are AI-suggested or access-controlled topics and topics listed in your topic exclusion list. As topic featuring will be deprecated any data associated with this feature will be deleted and will not be included in the topic migration. 

After your migration, post migration reports can be viewed by exporting two reports from Viva Engage called EngageTopicsMigration.csv and EngageTopicApplicationsMigration.csv (Learn more: Manage data in the Viva Engage admin center | Microsoft Learn). In the post migration reports, migrated topics will show the date of migration and what action was taken for the topic. Topics not migrated will include a short explanation about why the topic did not migrate. 

To restore topics that were not migrated an admin can: 

1. Review the post migration EngageTopicApplicationMigration.csv report 
2. Filter out imported and deleted topics 
3. Refer to the ThreadID for topics that were not imported
4. Rebuilt the thread url with the applicable thread ID and your network domain: https://www.yammer.com/<NetworkDomain>/#/Threads/show?<threadId>
5. Run the VivaTopicApplications.csv report to identify the topic name for the topic 
6. Create the topic in Viva Engage and attach the topic to the thread

Please note that metadata (i.e. topic creator, topic description) for topics that were not imported cannot be restored. 

[What you need to do to prepare:]

Before the migration a tenant admin can get a snapshot of which topics will be migrated by exporting topics in Viva Engage with PowerShell. No other actions are recommended. 

Updated January 8, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

With the export of data being one of the core fundamentals of Microsoft Purview eDiscovery, we are excited to announce significant changes coming to the Export feature.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469031 and with MC808165 (Updated) Microsoft Purview eDiscovery | Modernized eDiscovery in new Microsoft Purview portal (July 2024)

[When this will happen:]

Public Preview: Available now.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 (previously mid-December) and expect to complete by mid-March 2025 (previously mid-December).

[How this will affect your organization:]

You’ll experience these key changes related to the Export enhancements:

• Unified structure for exports: With eDiscovery’s new modern experience, the Export function between Standard and Premium cases has been streamlined. Customers have a consistent experience for downloads, reports, and error messages.
• No application needed for Standard customers: Standard users can download data directly through eDiscovery in the browser instead of installing an application to download.
• Faster exports: We enhanced the backend architecture and optimized partition for faster exports. Also, we removed the limit on the number of ZIPs created for exports. Customers can now have multiple ZIPs with optimized sizes for easier handling of data.
• Better reporting: The new Export feature has better reporting capabilities, with four reports generated for each export from Search or from Review set. These reports are available for all formats (report only, .pst, or .msg).
• More export options: Admins will be able to export files in .msg format, a key request from multiple customers. Also, we grouped the options for Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft OneDrive separately from options for Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Viva Engage.
• Options removed: We retired the Microsoft Office 365 eDiscovery Export Tool (eDiscovery Standard) and the option to export to a customer-owned Azure Storage location (eDiscovery Premium) because of feedback from customers regarding potential exfiltration risks as well as Microsoft’s security protocols. We removed the .eml export format option, due to low usage.
• New columns for the Export item report: For more efficiency, we added new columns for Classification types, Documentation parts, and Meeting names.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.

Coming soon to the Microsoft Viva Engage adoption community for Microsoft 365 Copilot, users will receive recommendations of similar questions and answers when composing a question, leveraging the collective knowledge of the Copilot topic across all of Engage to help them find what they’re looking for faster. Additionally, admins will have the ability to remove adoption features from the existing community and apply them to a new or different community.

Since general availability in August 2024 (referenced in MC784156), network admins and corporate communicators can enable a new type of community specifically built to facilitate the rollout and adoption of Copilot in their organizations. This community can bring employees together in a community of practice where employees can ask questions, seek support from both their peers and IT admins, share best practices, and learn more from articles and quick tips on how best to use Copilot.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-January 2025 (previously early January) and expect to complete by mid-February 2025 (previously early February). 

[How this will affect your organization:]

When composing a question in the Copilot adoption community, users will soon have access to a new feature that provides a list of recommended similar questions that have been asked and answered across all of Viva Engage. Users will soon be able to quickly navigate to existing answers, contribute to recommended questions, or post a new question, leveraging the collective knowledge across their network to find information faster and more efficiently.

Admins who want to remove adoption features from the existing community and apply them to a new or different community can do so by navigating to the ellipses (…) menu on the right side of the community header and selecting Unmark Copilot community. This action will remove all adoption features, including suggested content, suggested members, and the setup checklist, while retaining all other content.

This update is available by default.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

There is no required action for admins before the rollout. If your organization is working on rollout and adoption of Copilot, we recommend reading the support documentation to learn more about this new capability in Viva Engage and connecting with the Copilot change managers in your organization to include this in your rollout and adoption change management plan.
