Announcing AIP unified labeling client maintenance mode and sunset of mobile viewer

Hi Hen

Good to know! Being focusing, will boost the improvement and usage of built-in labeling capabilities in Office ProPlus apps. The AIP client  will keep working and be supported.

The question is that mentioned by PeterForster , about labeling files outside Office apps, if that will be included formally in the roadmap as part or Windows native features or special "plug-ins" for PDFs, csv or similar.  So for new deployments, should we consider to Hide the Classify and Protect menu option in Windows File Explorer or change which file types to protect?
