When will the support for Office Online Apps will be included for Azure Information Protection? Release of Unified Labeling for Office 365 and Azure is great, We can now define consistent Labeling across MS cloud platforms( O365 and Azure), But without any Office Online support It is difficult to implement information protection features and encourage users to use it. We cannot open a AIP Labelled document in SharePoint online and ODFB. Microsoft rolled-out these Information protection features for cloud platforms, But have not provided minimum view/edit capabilities for Office Online apps.  How does Unified Labeling will help in Office 365, If we can't even open a labeled document from SharePoint online and ODFB? It doesn't make any sense to open each and every document of SPO and ODFB in a desktop client!! 

 

I have been waiting since more than a year now, I haven't seen any update on office Online support!! Users are happy to label a new document from their desktop using AIP banner in Office apps, But frustrated with unable to open/view the same document Online.
