MC1052913 - Microsoft Purview | Endpoint Data Loss Prevention: Pause and Resume support for printer scenarios

Updated April 15, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Coming soon for Microsoft Purview | Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Pause and Resume support for printer scenarios for customers trying to override a DLP soft warning policy tip when submitting a print job. Before this rollout, the user must reinitiate the print job for the intended result. After this rollout, the override will be stored temporarily, and the print job will execute. This rollout is a fix for the Block with override action described in Create and deploy a data loss prevention policy | Microsoft Learn.

When this will happen:

Public Preview: We began rolling out early April 2025 and expect to complete by early April 2025.

General Availability (Worldwide): We began rolling out late April 2025 (previously early April) and expect to complete by early May 2025 (previously early April).

How this will affect your organization:

This change will be available by default.

What you need to do to prepare:

Identify Endpoint DLP policies to test after rollout to ensure the new experience is in place.

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
