Afsar_Shariffthanks, but the thing is, I don't see what you mean on where it is you want me to check.
To break it down. This is what I see:
Policies - Microsoft Purview


When I click on Policies I see these selections and they point to the Location templates like 'General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Enhanced' and 'U.S. Patriot Act Enhanced' and so many more

 

Also, if I want to use the search bar, unfortunately, it does not show anything.

And if I click on 'get started' maybe to see if I get it more, but then I get this info as seem unrelated:

 

I just don't get it. Sorry.  Maybe it is a license thing? We have tons of Microsoft E3 and E5 licenses in our tenant. or do we need more?
