Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Data Lifecycle Management – Retention based on Last Accessed for files in OneDrive and SharePoint

The Microsoft Purview compliance portal has recently been updated with a new feature for data lifecycle management. Specifically, users now have the ability to apply retention policies based on when a file in OneDrive or SharePoint was last accessed by a user. This new feature is currently in the preview release phase, with an expected release date of March CY2025.

This update to the compliance portal is designed to help users better manage their data by automating the retention process based on user activity. With this feature, it is possible to create customized retention policies that take into account how frequently users access specific files. This can help organizations stay compliant with data retention regulations, as well as keep their storage requirements to a minimum.
