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.

I am humbled and honored to receive my 7th MVP award. It is a privilege to be a part of this great community, and there is a lot of hard work behind every nomination and renewal.

Although you might feel you've done enough this year, you never know until you see the email with the words "Congratulations!".
The Microsoft MVP Award gives us the unique opportunity to celebrate, honor and say thank you to top-notch technology experts who make outstanding contributions to their communities.
