View sensitivity labels for Sharepoint data sources (preview)

Your organization's makers work with people inside and outside the organization. This means your data can go anywhere, on any device, app, or service. You want to keep your data secure and compliant with your organization's policies.

With Microsoft Purview, you can use sensitivity labels to classify and protect your data, without affecting user productivity and collaboration. Specific to your organization and business needs, your admins can create categories for different levels of sensitive content in your organization. For example, Personal, Public, General, Confidential, and Highly Confidential. For more information, see Learn about sensitivity labels.

Microsoft Copilot Studio supports the sensitivity labels for SharePoint data sources for knowledge or generative answers classic. This capability from Microsoft Purview strengthens your data security and compliance for Copilot Studio.

Microsoft Purview strengthens information protection for Copilot Studio

An agent uses existing controls to ensure that data stored in your tenant is never returned to the user, or used by generative AI, if the user doesn't normally have access to that data. When the data has sensitivity labels from your organization applied to the content, there's an extra layer of protection.

When an agent is configured with a SharePoint knowledge source, the copilot users see a shield icon with the highest sensitivity label from the files (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint) used to ground the responses. The users also see a sensitivity label for each file in the response references.

Here are examples of how agent users might see a sensitivity labels in Copilot Studio web and Teams chats.
