Hello PhuDao,
As far as i know Microsoft Purview DLP doesn't support data masking directly. It can help monitor, encrypt, or block access to sensitive data, but it doesn't offer the capability to mask the data itself in files like Word, Excel, TXT, or PDF. For masking, you would need to use a different solution or combine DLP with third-party tools that offer data masking features.
