    Zachary-Cavanell does the new release of Admin page allow creation of SharePoint Site Collections to multiple regions? e.g. Tenant is US but this Site Collection that we are creating will be used mainly in Asia Pacific. Can we do that?

    I am still keen to learn when Microsoft will provide the capability to deploy Classifications through the site UX rather than relying on PowerShell commands. It is quite likely that security will be set by security admins without PowerShell skills. Requiring those with PowerShell skills to manage these settings per site seems to me a real future overhead.

      I support your comment John, having just tried to figure this out the slow way. It's not easy.

        And if it's not easy it won't be used. Microsoft is certainly not as guilty as it used to be but certainly smaller enterprises simply won't tackle this. Security and Compliance are top of the list so making it easy to use must be a priority.
