Endpoint Data Loss Prevention — Endpoint DLP now supports a pre curated list of file extensions for the file extension condition
Endpoint DLP file extension conditions now use a pre-curated list of supported extensions instead of free-form text entry. Admins must update existing policies to leverage this curated list to improve policy reliability and reduce endpoint processing overhead.
Action required: Review and update existing Endpoint DLP policies using file extension conditions to use the new pre-curated list instead of free-form text entries.

Microsoft's description
Endpoint DLP now includes a pre curated list of file extensions for the file extension condition. Previously, file extensions were entered as free form text, which could result in unsupported or non-scannable extensions being used. This could lead to gaps in protection and increase processing overhead on endpoints. With the pre curated list, you can select only supported file extensions. This helps improve policy reliability and reduces unnecessary processing on endpoints.
