Setting the default AIP classic label on a OneDrive or SharePoint Online: Document Library
The SPO changes are both on the management side (e.g. DLP integration) and the UI (web apps, list views, etc.).
It is based on Unified Labeling, so while it right now supports documents protected with either client, the plan is to have everything moved to UL by the time this releases as GA (already the UL client has mostly feature parity to the Classic client, plus some new features).
Esaggese ok, Thanks for the update which I will pass on to my client. We are running a trial of AIP UL in a test tenant and AIP "classic" in our live tenant. It is my job to run experiments and publish results to the project oversight team, to assist in the decision on when switch over to AIP UL in live. Unfortunately as proved in my experiments and documented in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/information-protection/rms-client/use-client#compare-the-clients
there is a no "Do Not Forward button" wrt to the AIP UL client which is irking the business. Wonder if anyone as got an opinion on this?

Daniel Westerdale Hi. It is correct that the UL client by default doesn't put a Do Not Forward button in the toolbar, but this should pose no obstacle for this scenario since there are multiple ways to address this.
You can customize the ribbon to show an Encrypt button right by the Sensitivity button, and configure it to apply Do Not Forward in one click (this can be done via a GPO).
Second, you can create a label that applies Do Not Forward. While this option is not shown yet in the UL management console in SCC, you can set it for a label in the AIP management console and if you have enabled Unified Labeling it will show up in the UL client. You can also configure it via SCC PowerShell if you don't want to use the AIP management console.
Finally, you can use Unified Labeling while still having deployed the Classic client. Both can coexist if you enable Unified Labeling migration, and they will show the same labels since once you enable migration all labels are sourced from a common repository, even if they can be managed through two different consoles and can be viewed from the UL client, from the AIP client, and from all built-in clients (e.g. Mac, iOS, Android and, as discussed, in the SharePoint preview).
I know this last point can be confusing, but it is important to highlight that using Unified Labeling doesn't require moving *everything* to UL, you can continue using the classic client for as long as it meets your needs better, while using UL for what it supports best (e.g. SharePoint).

Esaggese I think I can see where you are coming from. We don't have ( nor should) need 2 separate AIP clients installed on our Windows Build , just the AIP "Classic". The AIP"classic" support will be available natively in Office 365 desktop and Online . The AIP UL support is targetted at SharePoint incl the SPO defaults we have been talking about on this thread. Hmmmm let see what the project team think....
