In reply to Dave. I don't. But it's PowerShell and you can use the Get-SPOSite cmdlet to get the sensitivity label data and check if it changes.

Regarding the first section of your article about labeling groups without a label – how did you handle labeling SPO sites that aren’t associated with any 365 groups?

In reply to Lance. It takes time for the synchronization of a label change (made in Teams or OWA) to reach SharePoint Online. I believe the expected period is up to 24 hours. During that time, SPO will display an incorrect label. If this is important, go and change the label in the SPO admin center.

Hi Tony,
Great blog and I have also come across the same issues.

Have you had a thought about misclassification from the Team creation and the underlying SharePoint site? When a Team is created with a container label the SharePoint site is also applied with the same label. But changing the classification of the Team the SharePoint site doesn’t follow.

If you created the Team with say an external label to allow guests etc then change it to an Internal label. The guest would still have full access to the underlying SharePoint site as long as they are not removed from the Unified Group.
If removed from the group they would lose the access but the SharePoint site is still open to guests.

I find it strange that when you change a classification on the Team the underpinning Site doesn’t follow.

What are your thoughts on this?

Many Thanks

Lance
