Automatic sensitivity label on existing labeled documents and emails
If I enable today automatic sensitivity labeling for label "Confidential" on behalf on sensitive information type "Credit Card" and 1000 documents are labeled with the label "Confidential". What happend if I remove the sensitive information type "Credit Card" from the label "Confidential", and put it on the Automatic sensitivity label "Highly Confidential". What happend to the 1000 documents which already have the label "Confidential"? Will it be modified to "Highly Confidential" or not?

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