Updated December 22, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
Coming soon to Microsoft Purview | Data Loss Prevention: When an admin wants to enable user email notifications, policy tips also need to be enabled and vice versa. After this rollout, notifications and policy tips will be decoupled, and admins can configure the following rules to enable:
- Only a user email notification
- Only a policy tip
- A user email notification and a policy tip
- No policy tips or user email notifications
After this rollout, policy tips and user email notifications will align with the behavior currently available with Microsoft Exchange.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 394279.
[When this will happen:]
Public Preview: We will begin rolling out February 20, 2026 (previously late January 2026) and expect to complete by late February 2026 (previously late July).
General Availability Worldwide: We will begin rolling out March 2026 (previously late March) and expect to complete in March 2026 (previously late April).
