    "SharePoint auto classification with sensitivity labels (private preview)" there was a demo at BRK3101

    This is a public preview and is enabled if you have Office 365 E5 / AIP P2 assigned to the user and if you opt in SPO integration with sensitivity labels. Word is already rolled out. Excel and PowerPoint should work shortly as well
