Nir Hendler, it is really hard to convince users of information classification as long as the sensitivity column in File Explorer is not populated. Can you foresee when this bug will finally be fixed?

    I strongly concur - it is an essential function to be able to classify large amounts of existing documents. Especially in combination with other housekeeping efforts it is much easier to use file explorer but without this essential information in one integrated view the user is not able to do this effectively.

      Due to the updates to Office and EDGE, there should be no reason for the stand alone MIP client - just the Windows integration - i hope you will move fast forward with this issue and consider (of cours) the explorer sensitivity column 🙂

      by the way - is the sensitivity column issue in sharepoint online solved?

        Lukas Koziel,
        I have tested again with the following Versions:
        - Office Version 2302 Build 16130.20184
        - Windows 10 Enterprise Version 22H2 Build 19045.2604
        Result: The sensitivity column in windows explorer is still empty:

        And also the corresponding column in SharePoint Online is filled only for Office documents. For other supported file types, such as pfd, the display remains empty.
        -> Beginning from which versions should the issue be solved?

    We understand several customers have been asking for this new feature, but at this time we have no update on this requirement. It's still on the backlog, but currently not on the road map.
