This release will enable you to select sensitivity labels that exclude SharePoint sites and files from topic discovery. Once this new configuration is saved, sites and files with the selected labels will no longer be included as part of the discovered list of files for an AI-suggested topic. Any description or alternate names extracted from those files will also be removed from the AI-suggested topic.
Note: If you are not using Microsoft Viva Topics and sensitivity labels, you can safely disregard this message.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 82047 and 82048.
