Microsoft 365 compliance center: Advanced eDiscovery – Expanded support to search and export items in SharePoint and OneDrive for Business Recycle Bin (US Government clouds)

Traditionally, when a site is on hold, the files in the Recycle Bin would be stored in the Preservation Hold library. In cases when a site is not on hold, there is no way to search or export items in the Recycle Bin. The eDiscovery and SharePoint Online teams are making architectural changes that will make the Recycle Bin (both first stage and second stage Recycle Bins) in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business searchable and exportable by eDiscovery Managers. That means organizations can search and export items in the Recycle Bin regardless of whether a site is on hold or not.

This will help protect sensitive company data from unauthorized access while providing peace of mind for end users while working on unmanaged and/or shared devices.
