New support for SharePoint and OneDrive

September 2025

Data Governance

• Updated: Learn about upcoming authentication changes affecting users of the Snowflake connector for Microsoft Purview Data Map.

Data Lifecycle Management
In preview: Rolling out, updates to priority cleanup that include:

• New support for SharePoint and OneDrive, with the main scenarios being the ability to delete Teams meeting recordings and transcripts (typically large files that are stale after 1-3 months) and delete items retained in a user's OneDrive Preservation Hold Library after a user has left the organzation. In both cases, priority cleanup lets you override the first principle of retention that the longest retention period takes precedence, and therefore reclaim storage.
• A change of configuration flow to support the new workload, the choice of adaptive scopes or static, and just an eDiscovery admin required as a policy approver.
• Three auditing events with the operation names of PriorityCleanupTagApplied, PriorityCleanupFileRecycled (for SharePoint and OneDrive), and PriorityCleanupDelete (for Exchange). At this time, these events don't have friendly names to select from the Microsoft Purview portal.

Encryption

• Updated: Instructions for setting up Customer Key with Managed HSM, including Managed HSM configuration options, are now located in the main Customer Key setup article.

Sensitivity labels

• In preview: Newly supported for Channel Agent in Microsoft Teams, the highest priority sensitivity label is displayed in the chat for reference items, and for citiations. There's also limited support for sensitivity label inheritance for AI-generated content (currently, only Loop and meetings support this inheritance).
