How to configure a default sensitivity label for a SharePoint document library
For an existing document library:
-
In SharePoint, navigate to the document library > Settings > Library settings.
-
From the Library settings flyout pane, select Default sensitivity labels, and then select a label from the drop-down box. For example:
Note: Although you see the setting mentions support for PDF files, this file type isn't currently supported for this scenario.
If you're creating a new document library, you can configure the same Default sensitivity labels setting from the Create document library flyout pane.
