Speeding up Syncing changes across Purview - Sensitivity Labels
I have setup sensitivity labels across our organisation. What I would like to know is; is it possible to force a domain sync that would effect the changes that I have made quicker, whether the changes are on a label or a policy? At present, any changes that I make to a label take about 30min-1hr before they appear at the users end.

Just Close your all MS office apps (Outlook + Excel + word etc ) and open it again. The PIP will try to fetch new label policy. works for us in our organization. MDE is our primary AV btw. Max synch time is 10 minutes
There is no centralized method to do this, the backend sync/distribution must complete first, and on the client side, additional actions might be required, depending on the app/client. For Office apps for example, you can open an instance of a (non-currently-running) app, i.e. if run Excel if you have no open workbooks.
