Impact

Action Required
- Monitor for Updates: Since the feature is currently postponed, admins should monitor the Microsoft 365 Message Center for revised Public Preview and General Availability dates.
- Documentation Updates: Once a new timeline is confirmed, plan to update internal “How-to” guides or training materials for compliance officers and Purview users regarding the new navigation options.
