Activity Explorer
A Purview data classification tool that reports user activities performed on labeled and sensitive content.
Activity Explorer is a read-only dashboard in Microsoft Purview that tracks actions users take on labeled or sensitive content—such as applying or changing a sensitivity label, printing, copying, or triggering a DLP policy match. Drawing on audit data, it surfaces these events in filterable views, giving administrators a timeline of how protected data has been handled. For the AB-900 exam, contrast it with Content Explorer: Content Explorer shows where sensitive data currently resides and in what volume, while Activity Explorer shows the historical actions performed on that data.
