Microsoft Purview for Microsoft 365 Pros

Take control of Microsoft 365 compliance with a course built for real-world administrators, compliance professionals, and IT pros who need to retain, protect, discover, and govern data with confidence. Microsoft Purview can feel complex at first — with its architecture, compliance records, retention logic, and workload-specific behavior — but this course breaks it down into a practical, understandable framework you can actually use.

What you’ll learn

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

Explain Microsoft Purview architecture and how the compliance substrate powers retention, eDiscovery, and reporting.

Implement data lifecycle management with retention policies and retention labels.

Use adaptive scopes and preservation holds to target the right content at the right time.

Work with records management concepts to support legal and regulatory requirements.

Manage eDiscovery cases and content searches for investigations and discovery workflows.

Apply Purview concepts across Microsoft 365 workloads such as Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Planner, and Viva Engage.

Why this course matters

Microsoft 365 data grows fast — and so do the risks. If you’re responsible for compliance, legal hold, retention, or information governance, you need more than theory. You need a practical approach that shows how Purview works across the tenant, where policies apply, what gets stored as compliance records, and why some actions take time to propagate.

This course helps you move from confusion to clarity:

Not sure whether to use a retention policy or a retention label? You’ll learn when each one fits best.

Worried about workload differences? We cover how Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, and other services behave differently.

Concerned about permissions and licensing? You’ll understand the role groups and access requirements that control Purview features.

Need to support legal or regulatory requests? You’ll gain the foundation for eDiscovery and preservation workflows.

Practical, hands-on learning focus

This is not just a conceptual overview. The course is designed to help you think like an administrator who must make Purview work in a live Microsoft 365 tenant. You’ll explore:

How compliance records are generated and used

How retention policies affect content over time

How labels can preserve, classify, and dispose of data

How eDiscovery cases are structured and managed

How to align governance decisions with business and legal needs

Example scenarios you’ll be ready for

Retaining Exchange mailboxes for a defined period

Applying retention labels to SharePoint and OneDrive content

Using adaptive scopes to target specific users or groups

Preserving content for investigations without disrupting users

Searching and exporting content for legal review
