Microsoft Planner: Support for Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) content sensitivity labels

Microsoft Planner will support Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) content sensitivity labels by December 15, 2025, enabling encryption, blocking copy/print/export, and enforcing read-only access. This enhances data protection and compliance, complements existing container-level labels, and requires no changes to current labels but recommends reviewing Purview settings and updating training. Microsoft Planner will soon support Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labels at the content level. This enhancement enables encryption, restricts unauthorized actions such as copying, printing, or exporting plan contents, and adds visual markings like watermarks for clear sensitivity awareness. By enforcing content-level protections, Planner helps organizations prevent data leaks, maintain compliance, and enable secure collaboration without impacting productivity. This update aligns Planner with Microsoft Purview standards for consistent enforcement of security and data protection policies. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 523819. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in early December 2025 and is expected to complete by mid-December 2025. How this affects your organization: Who is affected: Admins and users of Microsoft Planner across Microsoft 365 tenants. What will happen: Planner will support Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labels at the content level. Container-level labels (already supported) control who can join a plan and enforce restrictions like guest access and sharing limits. Content-level labels (new): Block copy, print, and export actions. Enforce read-only access for highly confidential plans. Restrict duplicating or exporting plans. Feature will be enabled by default and progressively available across all tenants by December 15, 2025.
