About this tag
Adaptive scopes in Microsoft Purview are dynamic policy scopes that determine which users and content are covered by retention, records management, data loss prevention, and communication compliance policies. A new Microsoft 365 Roadmap entry, ID 568785, describes an upcoming Adaptive Scopes control that lets administrators manage how lifecycle-state evaluation is handled for recipients and SharePoint site owners.
