Hi,

According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/windows-information-protection/enlightened-microsoft-apps-and-wip:

"Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Office Access, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Publisher are not enlightened apps and need to be exempted from WIP policy. If they are allowed, there is a risk of data loss."

Question: so how do we exempt these applications from the WIP policy?

Thank you,
SK
