Updated December 19, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Coming soon: New security features for Microsoft Loop for organizations that have enabled sensitivity labels (also known as Microsoft Information Protection or MIP).

Before this rollout, Microsoft Loop supports users or admins adding item-level sensitivity labels on all .loop files (including Loop components, Loop pages, and Copilot pages) in the Microsoft Loop app (on the web and for iOS/Android) and new Microsoft Outlook for Windows and Outlook for the web, classic Outlook for Windows, Outlook for Mac, Outlook on Android and iOS.

With this rollout, we will support:

  • Sensitivity labels on Loop workspaces at the storage container-level. Note: Sensitivity labels are also known as Microsoft Information Protection (MIP).

Coming in future rollouts:

  • Item-level sensitivity labels in Loop components and collaborative meeting notes in Microsoft Teams (on the web, on Windows desktops, and on iOS/Android)

When this will happen:

Container-level Sensitivity Labels for Loop workspaces: General Availability (Worldwide): We began rolling out late October 2024 and expect to complete by early November 2024. (Loop app for the web).

Admins do not need to do anything to prepare for this rollout. If your tenant has sensitivity labels configured at the item-level for Files, you or your users will be able to apply these labels to all Loop files (including Loop components, Loop pages, and Copilot pages). If your tenant has sensitivity labels enabled for Groups & sites, then you or your users will be able to apply these labels and policies to your Loop workspaces.
