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.

74-322 passed

Try reading some of the TechNet library docs on the subject, and go through some of the nexthop posts on the subjects.
