Sensitivity Labels
16 TopicseDiscovery for email attachment with encrypted sensitivity labels
We are currently testing encrypted sensitivity labels in conjunction with eDiscovery. We applied an encrypted label to a document, and eDiscovery was able to successfully search for the content in both OneDrive and SharePoint. However, the same functionality does not appear to work for email attachments—the content of encrypted attachments is not searchable. Are there any specific settings or configurations that need to be enabled to support encrypted email attachments in eDiscovery?

Hi, Sometime last week, default labels for documents suddenly stopped working, it still works for emails. Also, there is a configuration where users have to provide a justification to lower a sensitivity label, that stopped working as well. This has all been in place since May and have always worked but just suddenly stopped working last week. I created a new label with the exact configuration to test, but that works perfectly. I have tried recreating the labels that do not work anymore, but nothing changed. Has anyone experienced this and how did you go about it.

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.522Views4likes3CommentsLogs not available for PDF applied with sensitivity label
We created sensitivity labels for files and can apply them to files (docx, xlsx, pdf). However, we found that there were no activity logs for PDF in activity explorer nor in audit search. Activity logs were available for MS office documents (docx, xlsx). Is there any way we can enable logging for PDF documents with labelled content?

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.285Views1like2CommentsUnable to view PDF with sensitivity label
Hello, I am testing a confidential label with various settings, so far it works fantastically. When applying the [Confidential] label to a word file it works. However when I turn that Word document into a PDF and try to view it I am presented with the following screen: I input my email that also has an Acrobat Pro license and proceed. Then I am presented with the following login: When I press continue, quite literally, nothing happens. It just seems to get stuck in the login screen. Additionally if I do "open with" to the file I can view it normall on Microsoft Edge.224Views0likes2CommentsMicrosoft Purview Best Practices

Hi there, Maybe a basic question but I've been struggling to find a definitive answer... I have a customer using the Purview Information Protection client to apply sensitivity labels locally in Windows before uploading files into SharePoint. The Office files are retaining the sensitivity labels but images (JPGs PNGs, etc.) and PDFs are not. Is this a hard limitation or is there a way to retain (or activate) the sensitivity labels on images in SharePoint/OneDrive? Thanks, AlanSolved795Views0likes1Comment
