Sharing: PDF readers that support Purview labels
As I was researching on Adobe Acrobat reader and Sensitivity labels, I decided to check if the common alternative PDF readers out there are able to support Purview MIP Sensitivity labels. There is already a published documentation on this for SharePoint-Compatible PDF readers that supports Microsoft IRM: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sp-compatible-pdf-readers-for-irm (last updated Nov-2023) but I wanted to see if these same PDF readers supports the ability for end-users to use/ select labels similar to that of Adobe Acrobat As of 11-June-2025; atleast one of them clearly do: Nitro PDF: Yes. Documentation shows that users can see and use the sensitivity labels. PDF -X.change Editor: Yes. Documentation show that users can see and use the sensitivity labels. (check the official website, I can't hyperlink it because the site is blocked. FOX PDF editor: No. Documentation only states RMS and not clear if it show Purview labels. This is for F.O.X.I.T editor (spelled without the ".") but for some reason there is a community ban on that word and it won't allow me to post the full name PDFescape: No. Sumatra PDF: No Okular: No If there are other PDF readers that I've missed, I encourage you list it down in the comment below. Would love to grow this list.Microsoft Purview Best Practices

Speeding up Syncing changes across Purview - Sensitivity Labels
I have setup sensitivity labels across our organisation. What I would like to know is; is it possible to force a domain sync that would effect the changes that I have made quicker, whether the changes are on a label or a policy? At present, any changes that I make to a label take about 30min-1hr before they appear at the users end.Default Sensitivity Label to be added to migrated files (from Local Network Server)
Hi Experts, We are migrating our file-sharing services from a local network file server to MS Teams/SPO. The requirement is to enable and give default sensitivity labels from the migrated files. Manually assigning sensitivity labels in over a TB of files is hectic and could be prone to error as well. MS Purview MIP labels and label policies are configured, however, at present, only new documents and/or revised files are only having the sensitivity labels assigned. Any suggestions, guide, and tips will be highly appreciated. Thanks, RheyManaging the Discoverability of Private Teams
Microsoft has a new approach to control private team discoverability. You can have all-in access by enabling discoverability through Teams policies or granular access by using sensitivity labels to control if private teams are discoverable or not. This article explains how both methods work. https://practical365.com/private-team-discoverability/
Multilingual sensitivity labels in SharePoint Sites, Office Web and MS Team groups
I configured multilingual sensitivity labels (the new unified labels). In the Office Client Apps the language detection is fine, the labels are displayed in German. But in SharePoint Sites, Office Web and MS Team groups the sensitivity labels are still in the default language. The preferredlanguage attribute of the user account is fine (de-de). The language change is more than 36 hours ago. Someone an idea how or when the label languages will be changed in other M365 services? Thanks for some hints. Tobias
