Technical Bulletin MC617055 · Published Jun 30, 2023
Message Summary
Currently rolling out in public preview, SharePoint and OneDrive will support discovery and coauthoring of files labeled with user-defined permissions.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 85619
When this will happen:
Rollout to public preview began in mid-June and is expected to be complete by late July.
Standard release will begin in early August and is expected to be complete by late September.
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.
