Can you prevent the downgrade of a sensitivity label?
I know you can require a justification to downgrade a label to a less restrictive label, but can you prevent it? It seems a logical extension of this capability but I cannot find any articles to suggest this is possible. The only thing I can think of is to encrypt the label, and don't allow the "Edit rights". I am going to be testing this, but I was wondering if there is another (better) way.
Identifying Sensitivity labels using Purview APIs
Appreciate any inputs on the below: 1. I created a sensitivity label in the MS Compliance center following steps in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/purview/how-to-automatically-label-your-content#create-or-extend-existing-sensitivity-labels-to-azure-purview 2. Now when I scan a file in Purview, it does apply the label for one of the files satisfying the criteria (has SSN data) 3. Now when I use the GET Entity by guid REST API, I get the below classification section indicating the label details This has no reference to the sensitivity label name nor indicates that is a sensitivity label. Given that this is in the 'classification' section, how do we differentiate this from other classifications. How do we match it with the name?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, RheyMicrosoft Purview Best Practices

Does Microsoft's built-in SSN sensitive info type exclude any values by default or do we need to customize it to remove potential false positives for scenarios like the following: SSNs beginning with the number "666" in positions 1-3 SSNs beginning with the number "9" SSNs beginning with the number "000" in positions 1-3 SSNs with the numbers "00" in positions 4-5 SSNs with the number "0000" in positions 6-9 SSNs with repeating values. All 1's, 2's, 3's, etc. SSNs in a predictable sequence; 123456789 or 987654321Sharing: 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.
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.
