This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 492620
When this will happen:
Genral Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in late July 2025 and is expected to complete by late August 2025.
How this affects your organization:
Admins using the Export-ContentExplorerData cmdlet will now:
- Receive confidence level metadata in the exported results.
- Be able to filter exported data by confidence level using a new parameter. Usage: -ConfidenceLevel <high | medium | low>
This enhancement improves data clarity and enables more precise analysis of sensitive information detections. The feature is off by default and available for use when needed.
What you can do to prepare:
No action is required to enable this feature. However, you may want to:
- Review internal documentation or scripts that use the Export-ContentExplorerData cmdlet.
- Inform relevant teams (e.g., compliance, security) about the new filtering capability.
