Applying O365 sensitivity labels for different containers

In my previous post I showed how to enable sensitivity labels for different containers (SPO sites, Teams, O365 groups) in the tenant . Let’s see in more details how exactly applying of sensitivity labels looks like and to which exact containers it can be applied.

First of all let’s go to Sharepoint Online and try to create new site there. We will see that sensitivity labels are available for Modern Sharepoint Online sites: both Modern Team site

and Modern Communication sites

But if we will try to create Classic site (e.g. using Publishing Portal site template) we will see that sensitivity labels are not available:

So for Classic Sharepoint sites sensitivity labels are not available.

Next let’s go to Teams and try to create new Team there: we will see that Sensitivity field appeared on the Teams creation form:

Finally if we will go to Azure portal and will try to create new O365/M365 group we will also see that Sensitivity field will be available:

In the future posts we will check other details of sensitivity labels functionality in O365.
