Did you simply upload the file on SPO/ODB or share it externally to trigger the "content is shared outside" condition as well?
Content explorer will show sensitive data discovered across M365, not limited to DLP policy matches
please make sure you have these
1. To configure or view DLP alerts, users must be assigned specific roles in Microsoft Purview. These roles include:- Compliance Administrator
- Information Protection Admin
- Security Operator
- Security Reader
- Information Protection Investigator
For viewing matched content or using Content explorer, the Content Explorer Content Viewer role is also required.
2. Licensing requirementsWhat you can configure depends on your Microsoft 365 license:
- Single-event alerts: Available with E1, F1, G1, E3, or G3 licenses.
- Aggregate-event alerts: Requires an E5 license or one of the following add-ons for E3/G3:
- Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection Plan 2
- Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance
- Microsoft 365 eDiscovery and Audit add-on
