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.

In case you missed it: Loop components in Teams chat

on

 As always, there are a lot of features coming out or being enhanced in the Teams client. Loop components is one of the new cool features released this spring. This is a feature allowing for better collaboration within a chat object.

Unless it has been disabled by an admin, it should be available to all by default, and really easy to set up. When writing a one on one chat or a group chat, just select the loop component you want to incorporate from the menu. At the time of this post, it's not possible to add components to channels, but this should be in the works.

A clever eye will notice that Loop components in a chat is stored as a file in the chat, and you don't need the Teams client to access the file. As long as you have the link (and access rights) you can access it through any web browser.

You can read all bout the feature in this post, and check out which Loop component controls an admins can change.
