Answer 1

Hi @Anandhan Sathyanarayanan ,

Are you using SharePoint Online?

You could enable site classification in your tenant. To enable the site classification capability, you can execute PowerShell code like the following sample.

# Install the Azure AD Preview Module for PowerShell  
Install-Module AzureADPreview  
  
# Connect to Azure AD  
Connect-AzureAD  
  
# Create new directory setting and set initial values  
$template = Get-AzureADDirectorySettingTemplate | where { $_.DisplayName -eq "Group.Unified" }  
  
$setting = $template.CreateDirectorySetting()  
$setting["UsageGuidelinesUrl"] = "https://aka.ms/sppnp"  
$setting["ClassificationList"] = "HBI, MBI, LBI, GDPR"  
$setting["DefaultClassification"] = "MBI"  
New-AzureADDirectorySetting -DirectorySetting $setting  

While in the following figure, you can see the classification highlighted in the header of a "modern" site.

For Reference: SharePoint "modern" sites classification

Hi there,

The Tags & Notes feature of SharePoint in Microsoft 365 has been retired. You can no longer create new tags and notes or access existing ones.

What to use instead of Tags & Notes
