Data Lifecycle Management: Separate Copilot retention policies from Teams chats

In a previous post I mentioned how Microsoft is adding the capability to use Purview Data Loss Prevention on Copilot to block certain information from surfacing for the user. Now, Microsoft is adding Copilot to it's retention policy controls, and starting mid-February, public preview tenants can start exploringthis new feature. Admins will be able to create separate retention policies for Microsoft Teams chats and Microsoft 365 Copilot interactions, and allows for a more tailored data management. The feature will of course require that the targeted users have Microsoft 365 Copilot license.  According to the message center, the public preview will be during February, and we can hope for a general release sometime in March. The feature will be available by default, but policies will have to be set up.

A couple of favorite news about the world of Teams - Week 21

As far as I have been able to keep up, this has been a quiet week in terms of feature releases.
Insted, I want to share with you a couple of blogs or resources you might find interesteing.

A couple of months ago, the "Toolkit for  Teamwork" beta was opened for the public. Now, it integrates into the Microsoft Training Services. This will be a great place to go for information about Teams. Read the announcement here, and sign up for beta participation here.

For those of you who did not follow MSBuild, you might find this post on the Teams Developer Platform information interesting.
