Sensitivity labels for images not carried over to SharePoint
Hi there,
I have a customer using the Purview Information Protection client to apply sensitivity labels locally in Windows before uploading files into SharePoint. The Office files are retaining the sensitivity labels but images (JPGs PNGs, etc.) and PDFs are not. Is this a hard limitation or is there a way to retain (or activate) the sensitivity labels on images in SharePoint/OneDrive?
Thanks,
Alan
Microsoft have replied elsewhere and confirmed, unfortunately this is a hard limitation and there is currently no way to retain or activate sensitivity labels on image files (e.g. PNGs/JPGs) in SharePoint/OneDrive, even if they’ve been applied in the Purview Information Protection Client in Windows.
