The insight of SharePoint Embedded containers is largely invisible to admins, no quotas, no controls, no alerts. But with Purview Audit Logs, admins can see what’s happening inside all the containers. In this post, I walk through how to monitor activities for files, quota changes, and the folder/file structure using Graph API and PowerShell.
