Microsoft released Graph APIs to read and assign sensitivity labels in 2023. At the time, it was difficult to work with the assignSensitivityLabel API. Now it's easier, and this article explains how to use PowerShell with the API to assign labels to files in a SharePoint Online document library.
A new sensitivity label setting blocks access to content services for Office applications. In effect, this stops any feature that depends on the ability to send content to Microsoft for processing, including Copilot for Microsoft 365, DLP, text prediction, and so on. It's a precise item-level block that protects sensitive documents from being consumed and used by Copilot in the text that it generates.

A key aspect of a well-managed Microsoft 365 environment is to ensure that SharePoint sites are removed when they are no longer needed. In this blog, Sean McAvinue explores how to combine relatively basic PowerShell and Azure Automation skills with Power Automate to create a clean, robust way to manage the lifecycle of SharePoint sites in your Microsoft 365 tenant.
A Graph API is available to extract details of the sensitivity labels assigned to SharePoint Online documents. This article explores how to extract the information from files in a document library and use it to create a report. The nice thing is that once you have the data, you can slice and dice it any way you wish in Excel, Power BI, or whatever tool you prefer.
