Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question

The Activity explorer in Microsoft Purview records and displays user and system actions on sensitive items-such as when a sensitivity label is applied, changed, or removed-along with information about the actor, location, and time. This event-based view lets you verify how labels are being used and assess policy effectiveness over a selectable period (up to 30 days).

Content explorer, in contrast, provides a snapshot of where sensitive data resides but does not track user actions. Compliance Manager focuses on assessment scores and improvement actions, not item-level activities. The Data Loss Prevention alerts dashboard shows policy match alerts but lacks detailed per-item labeling history. Therefore, Activity explorer is the appropriate choice for monitoring label application activities.
