How this will affect your organization
The last used date provides valuable insights into the usage patterns of entries, enabling you to make informed decisions about their necessity. When the list reaches its capacity, this data can help you safely remove non-essential entries.
The last used date and timestamp will be updated in real time, for a forward-looking perspective to support data-driven decision-making. You can access the last used date with PowerShell cmdlets.
This rollout will not affect existing Tenant Allow/Block List entries.
What you need to do to prepare
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout.
