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

Another Lync 2013 for Android update

Microsoft has released a new Lync 2013 update for Android (On play).

- Security improvements through tightened SSL validation.

I have installed it myself, and found it to be working just fine.
