Direct effects for Operations**

Search Functionality Impact
Users may experience confusion or frustration as files with existing user-defined permission labels will not appear in search results until those labels are re-edited. This could lead to delays in finding necessary documents.

eDiscovery and DLP Policy Application
Newly uploaded or edited files will be subject to eDiscovery and DLP policies, which may lead to unexpected compliance issues if users are unaware of the changes and how they affect file handling.
