 # Azure Storage blob inventory
 
-The Azure Storage blob inventory feature provides an overview of your containers, blobs, snapshots, and blob versions within a storage account. Use the inventory report to understand various attributes of blobs and containers such as your total data size, age, encryption status, immutability policy, and legal hold and so on. The report provides an overview of your data for business and compliance requirements.
+Azure Storage blob inventory provides a list of the containers, blobs, blob versions, and snapshots in your storage account, along with their associated properties. It generates an output report in either comma-separated values (CSV) or Apache Parquet format on a daily or weekly basis. You can use the report to audit retention, legal hold or encryption status of your storage account contents, or you can use it to understand the total data size, age, tier distribution, or other attributes of your data. You can also use blob inventory to simplify your business workflows or speed up data processing jobs, by using blob inventory as a scheduled automation of the [List Containers](/rest/api/storageservices/list-containers2) and [List Blobs](/rest/api/storageservices/list-blobs) APIs. Blob inventory rules allow you to filter the contents of the report by blob type, prefix, or by selecting the blob properties to include in the report.
