Quotes

Caveats mentioned

• No re-check on unchanged records or when no policy exists

Documented features match

• AI-Driven Approvals - low confidence (llm). Docs say: Public preview, roadmap id 573255. Policy check
• Product documentation: Create and submit expense reports in Expense Agent, checked 2026-10-02. The action is disabled when the report doesn't need evaluation ... the menu can show No policies to check or Policies already checked.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
