Downgrading of encrypted label (User defined permission) in SPO to Desktop app
Hi I have a file stored in SharePoint that was originally labeled Restricted with user-defined encryption. When I open the word file from SharePoint using a desktop Office application and downgrade the label to Internal, the original encryption and permissions are still retained. This issue occurs only when opening the file from SharePoint into the desktop app—the previous protection settings persist even though the sensitivity label correctly updates to Internal. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. Is there any official Microsoft documentation that explains why this behavior occurs and the underlying reason for it? Additionally, what is the recommended workaround if I want to fully remove user-defined permissions when downgrading the label? I have already tried reapplying the Internal label, but the file remains encrypted with the prior permissions.
Need help with DLP Policy in Purview
One of our requirements is to block Copilot from discovering or querying internal files. Specifically, files labeled Internal or Confidential should not be discoverable or accessible by Copilot. I was able to obtain some step-by-step instructions from Copilot, but the required settings do not appear in our Purview portal, likely due to our E3 licensing. Has anybody created a DLP policy to achieve this or do you have aIssue with the Canadian Drivers License SIT
Did any face an issue with the Canadian Driver's License SIT in the DLP policy? We see a lot of false positives especially around BC province number, NB, PrinceEdward Island and Saskatchewan. These provinces has just digits which can flag any kind of digits. Even if we use some custom RegEx and reduced keyword list, it still flags a lot of false positives. We see this as more and more customers are not happy with it. Has anyone found a breakthrough or best solution for deploying the Canadian Driver's License DLP?
MS Purview Data Map - Sensitivity Label - Atlas API
Hi Everyone, Can someone confirm if it’s possible to update the Sensitivity label column in the Microsoft Purview Unified Data Catalog using the Atlas API? Since Microsoft Fabric currently does not support the auto-labeling feature in the Data Map, can we apply sensitivity labels to Fabric assets in the catalog through the Atlas API? Regards, BanuMurali

Auto-Label Simulation does not simulate your rules exactly
When you’re building an auto-labeling rule and run a simulation, don’t expect it to fully follow your rule. Let me explain. It doesn’t evaluate everything. For example, if your rule says a document must match at least four regex patterns to count as a positive find, the simulation might treat a single match as a positive. Yeah, that’s frustrating. Here’s what works better: Build your Sensitive Information Type (SIT) and test it against individual documents first. Then create a policy that targets a small subset of data. Run the simulation, then turn on the policy. Check the results in Activity Explorer, which shows real production activity. Why can’t the simulation just run the full rule? Good question—we all wish it did.
Purview Activity Explorer - Logs on recommendation to apply Labels
Hi all, for purposes linked to generate statistics, I have the need to monitor how users exploit the feature that recommends them the application of a specific label in Office Apps (this feature is configured in the specific Sensitivity Label with the "Auto-labeling for files and emails" and recommending users to apply that label). I tried look at the logs generated and appearing in the Activity Explorer. In order to monitor what mentioned above, I used the following logic: Filter only on the "Activity" field for "Sensitivity label recommended for file" value (this to monitor instances in which the label has been recommended to users) Filter only on the "How applied" field for "Recommended" value (this to monitor instances in which users actually accepted the recommendation provided to them) then: are the filtering conditions above enough and adequate for the purposes above? are there any other filtering criteria that I should take into account in this regard? Thank you in advance! 😊
Cannot update Case number in Microsoft Purview eDiscovery
I can no longer update the Case number under case settings in the new eDiscovery UI. I used to be able to update it via the externalId Graph endpoint but that appears to be deprecated. The error simply reads "update failed" - there is no additional information. Is anyone else having this problem?
