Parameters
-AdvancedSettings
The AdvancedSettings parameter enables client-specific features and capabilities for the sensitivity label policy.
Specify this parameter with the identity (name or GUID) of the policy, with key/value pairs in a hash table. To remove an advanced setting, use the same AdvancedSettings parameter syntax, but specify a null string value.
Some of the settings that you configure with this parameter are supported only by the Microsoft Purview Information Protection client and not by Office apps and services that support built-in labeling. For a list of these, see Advanced settings for Microsoft Purview Information Protection client.
Supported settings for built-in labeling:
AttachmentAction: Unlabeled emails inherit the highest priority label from file attachments. Set the value to Automatic (to automatically apply the label) or Recommended (as a recommended prompt to the user. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{AttachmentAction="Automatic"}. For more information about this configuration choice, see Configure label inheritance from email attachments.EnableAudit: Prevent Office apps from sending sensitivity label data to Microsoft 365 auditing solutions. Supported apps: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Windows (version 2201+), macOS (version 16.57+), iOS (version 2.57+), and Android (version 16.0.14827+); Outlook on Windows (version 2201+), Outlook on the web, and rolling out to macOS, iOS, and Android. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{EnableAudit="False"}.EnableRevokeGuiSupport: Remove the Track & Revoke button from the sensitivity menu in Office clients. Supported apps: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Windows (version 2406+). Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{EnableRevokeGuiSupport="False"}. For more information about this configuration choice, see Track and revoke document access.DisableMandatoryInOutlook: Outlook apps that support this setting exempt Outlook messages from mandatory labeling. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{DisableMandatoryInOutlook="True"}. For more information about this configuration choice, see Outlook-specific options for default label and mandatory labeling.DisableShowSensitiveContent: For Office apps that highlight the sensitive content that caused a label to be recommended, turn off these highlights and corresponding indications about the sensitive content. For more information, see Sensitivity labels are automatically applied or recommended for your files and emails in Office. Supported apps: Word for Windows (version 2311+). Example:
Set-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{DisableShowSensitiveContent="True"}OutlookDefaultLabel: Outlook apps that support this setting apply a default label, or no label. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{OutlookDefaultLabel="None"}. For more information about this configuration choice, see Outlook-specific options for default label and mandatory labeling.TeamworkMandatory: Outlook and Teams apps that support this setting can enable or disable mandatory labeling for meetings. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{TeamworkMandatory="True"}. For more information about labeling meetings, see Use sensitivity labels to protect calendar items, Teams meetings, and chat.teamworkdefaultlabelid: Outlook and Teams apps that support this setting apply a default label, or no label for meetings. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{teamworkdefaultlabelid="General"}. For more information about labeling meetings, see Use sensitivity labels to protect calendar items, Teams meetings, and chat.HideBarByDefault: For Office apps that support the sensitivity bar, don't display the sensitivity label name on the window bar title so that there's more space to display long file names. Just the label icon and color (if configured) will be displayed. Users can't revert this setting in the app. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{HideBarByDefault="True"}
Additionally, for Power BI:
powerbimandatory: Mandatory labeling for Power BI. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{powerbimandatory="true"}. For more information about this configuration choice, see Mandatory label policy for Power BI.powerbidefaultlabelid: Default label for Power BI content. Example:
New-LabelPolicy -Identity Global -AdvancedSettings @{powerbidefaultlabelid="General"}. For more information about this configuration choice, see Default label policy for Power BI.

-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
