Azure Information Protection unified labeling user guide

Note

Are you looking for Microsoft Purview Information Protection, formerly Microsoft Information Protection (MIP)?

The Azure Information Protection add-in for Office is now in maintenance mode and we recommend you use labels that are built in to your Office 365 apps and services. Learn more about the support status of other Azure Information Protection components.

The Azure Information Protection unified labeling client for Windows helps you keep important documents and emails safe from people who shouldn't see them, even if your email is forwarded or your document is saved to another location. You can also use this client to open documents that other people have protected by using the Rights Management protection technology from Azure Information Protection.

All you need is a computer that runs at least Windows 8. Then download and install this free client from Microsoft.

If you are an administrator who is responsible for the Azure Information Protection unified labeling client on an enterprise network, see the Azure Information Protection unified labeling client administrator guide for additional technical information.
