| description | Look up Microsoft Purview documentation and guidance from Microsoft Learn. Use this skill ONLY when the user's question does NOT match a diagnostic symptom in dlm-diagnostics. Use dlm-diagnostics first for troubleshooting issues like retention policy errors, archive problems, inactive mailboxes, etc. Use asklearn for general questions like: how do I create a retention policy, how do I set up eDiscovery, how do I enable audit logging, how do I configure communication compliance, how do I set up information barriers, how do I use insider risk management, how do I manage records, or how do I configure adaptive scopes. |
