Users with access to Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) are redirected from old protection mechanisms towards the modern sensitivity labeling experience.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 109532
[When this will happen:]
Preview: We will begin rolling out in late July and complete by mid-August.
Standard Release: We will begin rolling out in mid-August and complete by early September.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Users will no longer be able to apply IRM protection to new or existing documents and instead will be directed to apply MIP labels.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
Users with access to MIP that require the old IRM protection mechanisms will need to either need transition towards MIP labels or request a registry key capable of reverting to the old behavior.
