New feature, Admin impact

Details:

This feature is for VBA developers who use Office fixed format export functions to create PDFs from documents with sensitivity labels and encryption. By default, all PDFs created using Office's fixed format export functions will automatically inherit the source document's label or encryption. Some VBA add-ins may need to be updated to avoid issues when post-processing an encrypted PDF.

This feature will go into preview in September 2022 for users to prepare their add-ins for changes. This feature will fully release in December 2022 for all users.
Preview (if applicable): We will begin rolling out early September 2022 and expect to complete by late November 2022.
Standard Release (if applicable): We will begin rolling out early December 2022 and expect to complete by late December 2022.
