Automatic sensitivity label on existing labeled documents and emails

Hello khhaj,

If the existing label is applied via automatic labelling (like in your case), and if the new label is of higher priority, then it applies. If existing label is of higher priority, then it won't change. 

Refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/apply-sensitivity-label-automatically#will-an-existing-label-be-overridden 

For more info on priority, refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sensitivity-labels#label-priority-order-matters 

Hope this helps!
