    Hi @Vinod Survase ,

    There are two different methods for automatically applying a sensitivity label to content in Microsoft 365:

    • Client-side labeling when users edit documents or compose (also reply or forward) emails: Use a label that's configured for auto-labeling for files and emails (includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook).
    • Service-side labeling when content is already saved (in SharePoint or OneDrive) or emailed (processed by Exchange Online): Use an auto-labeling policy.
