Microsoft Purview | eDiscovery: Tenant level process report

Originally posted by Microsoft Jan 31, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Microsoft Purview eDiscovery will introduce a tenant-level process report by late February 2026, providing administrators a centralized view of all eDiscovery processes across cases. Enabled by default, it requires no action but allows role-based access for monitoring and managing eDiscovery activities tenant-wide.
