The User data search case tool is retiring, and its functionality is merging with eDiscovery Standard as of August 30th, 2023. The previous cases created will be available in the eDiscovery Standard solution going forward.

We recently made Microsoft Authenticator Lite (for Outlook) Generally Available. Until now, a prerequisite to using this feature was to have Microsoft Authenticator enabled in the modern Authentication methods policy. We’re now also making it available as a part of the “Notifications through mobile app” method in the legacy, per-user MFA policy.
Note: We strongly recommend migrating your authentication methods to the Authentication methods policy. The ability to manage authentication methods in the legacy, per-user MFA policy will be retired September 30th, 2024.

With this capability, you will be able to create groups of network share paths and designate restrictive actions for each group within your DLP policy in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention.
