Due to limited usage and our focus on investing in Microsoft Mesh where immersive 3D content can be created and experienced in a multi-user collaborative experience, we will retire the spaces feature from Microsoft SharePoint Online starting March 10, 2025 and ending August 11, 2025. As another alternative, you may choose to transition some existing content to SharePoint Pages.

We will be retiring the classic eDiscovery including classic Content Search, eDiscovery (Standard), and eDiscovery (Premium) from the Microsoft 365 Purview portal starting August 1, 2025, and ending September 1, 2025.

We will continue to invest our development resources in the new unified eDiscovery.

How does this affect my organization:
Insider Risk Management will increase policy creation limits from 20 policies per template to 100 maximum overall active policies. For example, an organization may have 50 data leak policy templates because the limit will now apply to all active policies versus each policy template.
Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
,Currently, you can create a Purview Endpoint DLP policy and assign it to specific users or user groups. This feature will allow you to create and release features based on both users and machines. You can use this feature to achieve different policies for the same user on different devices.
I've been working with Microsoft Technologies over the last ten years, mainly focused on creating collaboration and productivity solutions that drive the adoption of Microsoft Modern Workplace.
