SharePoint Online Site Classification- Any early guidance or references?
Not all sites are assocated with Groups. So, if the Groups feature needs to be enabled for site classification, is classification going to be limited to only sites associated with groups?
That indicates that there will be no way to apply categories to pre- and non-Groups sites and thus no ability to make use of information governance and security policies for such sites. This would be unfortunate.
- For now that's the reality, but in the coming months this could change
So this article was recently updated on 12/21/2016. Anyone have any idea if the two activities, custom classifation and built-in site classification are compatible?
Implement a SharePoint Site Classification Solution
Even with good governance, SharePoint sites can proliferate and grow out of control. Sites are created as they are needed, but are rarely deleted. Search crawl is burdened by unused site collections, and search produces outdated and irrelevant results. Site classification allows you to identify and preserve sensitive data. This article shows you how to use the Core.SiteClassification sample to implement a site classification solution, as well as use SharePoint site policies to enforce deletion. You can integrate this solution into your existing site provisioning solution to better manage your sites.
