explanation for non-techies**

Imagine your organization as a library. In this library, each book represents a piece of information or data. Some books are more sensitive than others, like rare manuscripts or confidential documents, and need special handling to ensure they are only accessed by the right people.

Microsoft Purview Information Protection acts like a librarian who helps categorize these books based on their sensitivity. With the new feature, you can now apply sensitivity labels to items within Microsoft Fabric workspaces, much like placing a colored sticker on each book to indicate its level of sensitivity.

These labels are not just for show; they are tied to specific rules about who can access or edit these items, similar to how only certain library members might be allowed to check out rare books. Administrators set these rules, ensuring that the right protections are in place based on the sensitivity label assigned.

This system helps maintain order and security in your "library," ensuring that sensitive information is handled appropriately and only accessed by those with the proper clearance. It's a way to keep your data safe while still allowing the right people to get the information they need.
