Microsoft SharePoint Online now supports content search, Microsoft Purview eDiscovery, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies on files with labels configured for user-defined permissions.
Learn more about support for labels configured for user-defined permissions.
Note that files with labels configured for user-defined permissions will continue to not be available for Microsoft 365 Copilot processing.
[When will this happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out mid-March 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
When a user performs a keyword search in SharePoint Online, the service will now bring back matched results with content inside files that have user-defined permission labels.
Note that only files that are uploaded to SharePoint Online after this feature update is rolled out to your tenant will support this updated content search. These files are likely to show up in search results for the correct set of users as defined in the label for that file. Files with user-defined labels that already existed in SharePoint Online prior to the rollout of this feature update will not show up in search result until the labels are re-edited.
Similarly, new and edited files will show up in Purview eDiscovery searches for file content matches, and the label names for the files will display in Content Explorer. They are supported for your DLP policies.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
