March 2026: Sprint 26.2.2
The SharePoint Online Connector (SPOC) has been updated to support Label Based Record Locking (LBRL).
Features
Label Based Record Locking
The ability to use a Purview record retention label for locking records has been added to the application. When enabled and configured, this functionality will lock all records day-forward with Purview retention labels.
Several caveats for Label-based Record Locking:
The functionality can only be used by clients with E5 licenses from Microsoft.
The functionality must be enabled and configured before it can be used. Please contact Gimmal to enable this functionality.
See this advisory for further details.
If your organization is currently using Purview retention labels for any purposes, do not enable label-based retention without first speaking with our subject matter experts.
Microsoft has indicated that IPRM will remain functional, but unsupported, after the April 2026 deadline.
