[@HannuSKorvala]

Thanks I passed SC-900 today! Heads up for others doing the exam: Microsoft 365 compliance center is now called Microsoft Purview, but in the exam it is still referred as 365 compliance center. There was a lot of questions regarding to the compliance center so I recommend everyone to at least skim through the official Microsoft learning path.
