Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels: Sensitivity label grouping modernization coming this fall (?)

on
There is a change coming to Microsoft Purview Information Protection that simplifies sensitivity label architecture. The goal is to make label management easier, more scalable, and less rigid for organizations. The new model will only include standalone labels and sublabels. Parent labels will be replaced by label groups, which act as organizational containers. These groups cannot be applied to content and have no actions or scope, but they retain color and priority for visual organization. Hopefully, this change will make it much easier to move labels around and make other changes in production: for example, converting a standalone label into a sublabel or moving sublabels between groups without breaking dependencies.  From my experience, this update solves one of the biggest challenges in large environments: rigid label hierarchies.

OneDrive makes it easier to find relevant files

on

Microsoft OneDrive is getting a facelift these days, and two of the new features I am excited about are the way OneDrive will make it easier to find relevant documents in connection to meetings or your contacts. These are listed as two separate features, but I think they should be mentioned together. 

The meeting feature has started rolling out in preview, but should be rolling out to standard release at the end of August and hopefully be available to all by the end of October.

The "browse by people" feature will be rolling out separately, but over a similar timeframe.
Please note that a user will only see documents otherwise available to them. A "User A" will not see documents from "User B" unless they have already been shared with "User A". Either directly or through a library available to "User A"

Another way to find documents in the future, will be just by looking at a User's contact card. "Item insights" is rolling out in August, and will start showing documents "User A" and "User B" are collaborating on. By looking at the contact card of "User A", "User B" can identify which documents "User A" has updated or added notes to. The Insight feature can be turned on/of by following the steps in the official documentation. This feature is also rolling out in August to most organizations.
