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.
