Release notes
16.0.0
Released: 2025-10-10
This release focuses on enhancing the efficiency and scalability of scan operations for SharePoint and OneDrive environments. By restructuring how scan jobs are processed, users can expect improved performance and greater flexibility in managing large-scale data governance tasks when following the recommended approach.
Scan Enhancements
SharePoint Scan Job Split: The SharePoint scan process has been re-engineered to separate core entity scanning from files, folders, and file shares. This modular approach streamlines scanning workflows, making it easier to manage complex environments and optimize resource usage. This will result in one scan job scanning for Sites and related content, and another scan job scanning the SharePoint Files, Folders, and File Shares.
OneDrive Scan Job Split: The OneDrive scan job now distinguishes between core entities and files/folders/file shares, providing a more organized and efficient scanning experience. This update supports faster scans and clearer reporting for administrators overseeing extensive OneDrive deployments. This will result in one scan job scanning for OneDrives and related information, and another scan job scanning the OneDrive Files, Folders, and File Shares.
Important Notes
Full control permissions for OneDrive have been added to support consent requirements for the new scanning approach. Please ensure your organization reviews updated permissions to maintain compliance with security policies.
