Microsoft Purview | Data Loss Prevention – UX improvements to the DLP Alerts in Purview Portal

Microsoft Purview Portal’s DLP Alerts page now offers a unified, faster view with event details accessible in one click, four new columns for enhanced context, and improved performance. Rollout starts late September 2025, requiring no admin preparation and supporting up to 50 events per alert on the main page.

We’re excited to announce performance and usability improvements to the DLP Alerts Page in Microsoft Purview Portal to help you triage incidents faster and more efficiently.

What’s New: 

  • Unified View: Events related to each alert are now available directly on the alerts page — no need to switch to new tab or drill down. 
  • Faster Access: Access event details (e.g. Impacted assets) with just one click on the main alerts page itself, compared to four clicks earlier, reducing triage time significantly. 
  • Enhanced Context: We’ve added four new columns – Location, DLP policy name, DLP rule name, and Rule action to display key alert and event attributes upfront — giving you more visibility at a glance. 
  • Performance Boost: Cache improvements to ensure faster load times and a smoother experience. 

These updates are designed to streamline your workflow, reduce response times, and give you the context you need — all in a single, efficient view.

When this will happen:

  • Public Preview: We will begin rolling out late September 2025 and expect to complete by early October 2025.
  • General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late October 2025 and expect to complete by early November 2025.
