Office 365 Message Encryption - Encrypt from Outlook
Hi, I have configured Message Encryption and it seems to be running smooth :) My question is - instead of using transport rules, is it possible to change the templates so I can set "Encrypt" fro...
- Aug 28, 2018You said you had the latest version of Office 365 Pro Plus - but which deployment channel? It needs to be Current Channel to see this feature as it is new. If you are on any of the deferred channels (Semi Annual Channel for example) you will not see it (yet)

If you are running the latest version of Office ProPlus 365 then you have this feature already (or will do soon). It is currently rolling out, so you might have it already. Its been in OWA since about Feb 2018 as well. In OWA, click Protect button and then change the protection from Do Not Forward to Encrypt. In Outlook, new email > Options > Permissions > OrgName > Encrypt-Only

- Brian ReidAug 27, 2018MVPAs written above. The feature is still rolling out. You need the latest Office 365 Pro Plus release to see this. It does not appear in the MSI release as far as I have been able to tell. The OME general configuration was automatically rolled out to all tenants early Aug.

Can I change the template, so it is possible to press ENCRYPT instead of creating a transport rule?

Okay, probably your Outlook just hasn't downloaded the new "Encrypt" template yet. You can manually refresh templates: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/information-protection/refresh-templates

Well. Seems to be "hidden" in the "Do not forward" choice.
When using do not forward - it seems to be encrypted. Correct?
