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.

Using Copilot agents in Teams group chats for all

on

Microsoft making it easier than ever to stay on top of your collaboration in Teams group chats. Coming soon is the capability to add Copilot agents to group chats, giving users a great tool to get on top of things, even if they have been away for parts of the conversation.

Instead of being a Copilot feature like it is for licensed users today, it will be an agent users can add to the conversation. It will come with the regular Copilot enabled for all EntraID users, using Teams on Windows desktop, Mac desktop, and the web (no mention of mobile just yet). 

This feature is mentioned in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 464988 and should be rolling out quite soon. It will be turned on by default.
