Microsoft Purview Information Protection: Discover and co-author documents labeled with user-defined permissions
Currently rolling out in public preview, SharePoint and OneDrive will support discovery and coauthoring of files labeled with user-defined permissions.
When this will happen:
Rollout to public preview began in mid-June and is expected to be complete by early September.
Standard release will begin in mid-September 2023 (previously early September) and is expected to be complete by early November (previously late October).
How this will affect your organization:
With this feature, SharePoint and OneDrive can process labeled documents that are encrypted with custom permissions, also referred to as user-defined permissions. As a result, these documents can be searched, inspected for data loss prevention, and used with eDiscovery. They can also be opened, edited, seamlessly co-authored, and support AutoSave in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps on all platforms (including Office for the web).
What you need to do to prepare:
No special action is needed to enable this feature. However, as this changes existing behavior for files labeled with user-defined permissions, we recommend educating your users and updating documentation as needed.
Review and define label policies and settings, and access Microsoft Purview Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, and eDiscovery solutions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
