New feature: SharePoint and OneDrive support for sensitivity labels (preview)
Rolling out early-November
Complete roll out by mid-November
Previously, when you applied sensitivity labels that included encryption to Office files stored in SharePoint and OneDrive, the service couldn't process the content of these files. Co-authoring, eDiscovery, Data Loss Prevention, search, Delve, and other collaborative features didn't work. This preview enables these features:
SharePoint recognizes sensitivity labels applied to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in SharePoint and OneDrive and enforces the settings that correspond with each label.
When you download a file from SharePoint or OneDrive, the sensitivity label travels with the file and the settings remain enforced.
Apply sensitivity labels to Office files, and open and edit files that have sensitivity labels applied (if the label's permissions allow it) by using the web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. With Word on the web, you can also use Auto labeling when you edit documents.
Office 365 eDiscovery supports full-text search in files that have sensitivity labels applied. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies cover content in these files.
Three new audit events are available for monitoring sensitivity labels:
FileSensitivityApplied
FileSensitivityLabelChanged
FileSensitivityLabelRemoved
