M365 Changelog: Microsoft 365 Defender – Quarantine Customize Columns and Filters preference Saved for re-use

MC542832 – Microsoft is saving the Customize Columns and Filters preference for re-use by admins or end users when triaging the Quarantine folders for false positive email messages.

When this will happen

Standard: Microsoft will begin rolling out in mid-April 2023 and will complete rollout by late April 2023.

Government: Microsoft will begin rolling out in early May 2023 and will complete rollout by mid-May 2023.

How this will affect your organization

Quarantine, Security, or Global Admins who triage the Quarantine folders for users in their organization will notice that their Customize Columns and Filters preference selection will remain when they leave the Quarantine folder interface (Security.microsoft.com/quarantine) and visit it again.

Previously, these columns and filters were reset whenever the admin or end user left the Quarantine folder interface and visited it again.

Microsoft believes that with these changes, the admin and end-user false positive email triage experience will be more robust and easier for them to pick back up from where they left off.
