Co Authoring with Sensitivity Labels
Hello,
I am working with sensitivity labels with my organization. We currently have Standard, Confidential, and Highly Confidential which all are encrypted. I have Co-Authoring turned on but I have some trouble with. We a lot of documents being collaborated on.
Standard: Co-Authoring functions normal and Auto-Save is toggled on.
Highly Confidential: Custom Permission in Sensitivity Label (View, Edit, Reply, Forward) I asked copilot and it stated even though my permissions are selected custom I have "Edit" on their for my internal users it is reading it as Co authoring; Co-Authoring is on and functioning but internal end users Auto-Save is toggled off and they are being asked to save a copy of the document or excel sheet then upload it again to SharePoint.
Why isn't "Auto-Save" toggled on for "Highly Confidential" label? Can it be adjusted so it can be on? Do I have to make adjustments to my permissions in the Sensitivity label?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello Tiffanyb ,
Do you have this issue with all the labels in the Highly Confidential label group?
The label "All Employees" sould have the autosave on since the default permission setting allow all internal users to edit and save encrypted documents.
I'd confirm that affected users / groups have proper permissions configured for co-authoring.
Also note that in certains scenarios the feature will not be available. For example, co-authoring and AutoSave don't work for a labeled and encrypted document if another user has it open in a Office desktop app that doesn't support the new labeling metadata.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sensitivity-labels-coauthoring#limitations

Hello Tiffanyb ,
This could be because Highly Confidential label might have encryption enabled and there are some limitations to co-authoring with encryption. Refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sensitivity-labels-coauthoring#limitations
Hope this helps!
