M365 Changelog: OneDrive – Sharing Experience – Sensitivity Labels inside the Sharing Dialog

MC481831 – Microsoft apologizes that we did not communicate ahead of time for this feature release.

Sensitivity labels are used to classify and protect your organization’s data. These labels are completely customizable, and admins can apply a label to a specific file based on the organization needs. We’ve now added sensitivity labels inside the Sharing dialog, to provide you the ability to see what labels have been applied to your files prior to sharing them. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 100714

When this will happen:

This feature is now available.

How this will affect your organization:

If the Admin chooses to set Sensitivity labels for the organization, users who interact with the OneDrive/SharePoint share control will be able to see these labels displayed inside the Sharing Dialog.
