Action required: Review and configure sensitivity label policies to ensure Forms authors can appropriately classify forms and responses; verify Excel export inheritance behavior aligns with organizational requirements.

Microsoft's description
Microsoft Forms will enable sensitivity labels, empowering organizations to control access and manage information protection directly within Forms. Authors and co-authors will be able to manually assign or edit sensitivity labels on forms, ensuring that only users with appropriate permissions can access form design and response pages. Sensitivity labels will also be inherited by Excel files generated from Forms, maintaining consistent data protection across exported content.
