MC476021: Microsoft Purview | eDiscovery (Premium): General availability of data purge capabilities for Microsoft Teams content

When this will happen

Rollout will begin in early December and is expected to be complete by end of December.

How this will affect your organization

Data spillage occurs when a confidential document is released into an untrusted environment. An eDiscovery case provides an effective way to manage data spillage investigations, so you can quickly assess the size and locations of the spillage, examine user activities around it, and then permanently purge the spilled data from the system.

With this update, you will be able to include Teams content in the scope of the data purge.

Note: Data purge can’t delete items in a review set in eDiscovery (Premium) because the review set contains copies of items in the live service that are stored in an Azure Storage location. To delete items in a review set, you have to delete the eDiscovery (Premium) case that contains the review set. The purge signal will be available via the eDiscovery (Premium) Graph APIs. For more information, see Close or delete an eDiscovery (Premium) case.

What you need to do to prepare

Get started with eDiscovery (Premium) in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
