Message Summary
When default labeling of files is enabled in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows, a default sensitivity label is applied to any unlabeled document when it is saved.

When this will happen:
Standard Release: We will begin rolling out early July and expect to complete by mid-July.
