What's new in the documentation for Azure Information Protection, April 2017

Documentation articles that have significant technical changes since the last update (February 2017): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/understand-explore/office-apps-services-support - Revised the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/understand-explore/office-apps-services-support#sharepoint-online-and-sharepoint-server section, for clarifications about the different levels of permissions (blocking inheritance for unique permissions) with links to the corresponding instructions for configuration. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/requirements-azure-ad - Updated the Scenarios that have specific requirements section, to add information about certificate-based authentication for Android. Selecting a certificate is also added to the end user documentation, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/rms-client/mobile-app-faq#how-do-i-get-started-with-the-viewer-app https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/requirements-applications - Updated the supported application table that previously said Office Mobile for Android was restricted to Azure RMS only. The https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn673574.aspx documentation is updated accordingly. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/faqs-infoprotect - Updated https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/faqs-infoprotect#do-i-need-to-be-a-global-admin-to-configure-classification-and-labels and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/faqs-infoprotect#which-options-in-the-azure-portal-are-p2 (renamed). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/information-support - Updated the section about https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/information-support#to-contact-microsoft-support , now that customers with an Azure Information Protection subscription or EMS subscription can submit a support ticket by using the Azure portal. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/plan-design/migrate-from-ad-rms-to-azure-rms - Revised throughout and matches the new migration scripts on the Microsoft Download Center. There is a new https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/plan-design/migrate-from-ad-rms-phase1 , where the work you do upfront makes for a smoother migration later and does not impact the production network. For environments that are highly sensitive to disruptions to the business, this strategy can help to get a migration project off the ground. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/plan-design/plan-implement-tenant-key - Updated to remove the restriction that you cannot move from a BYOK key topology to a Microsoft-managed key topology. This restriction is now removed with the v2.9 PowerShell module version for Azure Rights Management, and the new cmdlet, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/aadrm/set-aadrmkeyproperties .  Note that this cmdlet also changes how you run the Import-AadrmTemplate cmdlet, which is reflected in the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/plan-design/migrate-from-ad-rms-to-azure-rms . https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/deploy-use/configure-usage-rights - Updated the usage rights table to include the name in the Azure portal for the preview release, and added information about granting rights and setting permission levels for emails. This page also has a new section that explains the Rights Management issuer and Rights Management owner, and the impact of these on protected content. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/deploy-use/configure-policy-protection - Updated for the new protection settings that are now released in preview. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/rms-client/client-admin-guide-document-tracking https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/rms-client/client-admin-guide - New entry for custom configurations: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/rms-client/client-admin-guide#prevent-sign-in-prompts-for-ad-rms-only-computers
