Data Classification Sensitivity Label Publication Modification Procedure

This admin procedure will provide background information on modifying a publish sensitivity label.

Sensitivity Labels

Microsoft Purview uses sensitivity labels to classify and protect data, and the labels have a global scope that travels with the data. Publishing a label will either create a mandatory enforcement of labels being applied to items that fall within the scope of enforcement or allow labels to be applied by end user at their own discretion.
