Details

Updated February 5, 2025: After further review we have decided not to proceed with this change at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Copilot will show current sensitivity label settings to users for any Microsoft 365 file used to ground a prompt in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat web mode and Microsoft Copilot with enterprise data protection web grounding chat. These are the same sensitivity settings displayed across Microsoft 365 products like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Outlook, etc.

Copilot will display sensitivity label shields at the bottom of Copilot responses with the file referenced file. This will help users identify the level of sensitivity classification for the content included in the response from the file.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469497

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide) We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed.

How this will affect your organization:

Starting early January, Microsoft 365 Copilot users and Microsoft Copilot users logged in with their Entra account will start seeing the sensitivity labels in the response references anytime they use a Microsoft 365 file to ground their prompt.    

What you need to do to prepare:

No action is required. Visit Get started with sensitivity labels | Microsoft Learn to learn more about how you can setup and manage sensitivity labels for your organization.
