Question

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains two users named User1 and User2. On January 1, you create the sensitivity label shown in the following table. On January 2, you publish Label1 to User. On January 3, User1 creates a Microsoft Word document named Doc1 and applies Label1 to the document. On January 4, User2 edits Doc1. On January 15, you increase the content expiry period for Label1 to 28 days. When will access to Doc1 expire for User2?

Why each option

Access to a document protected by a sensitivity label with content expiry is determined by the label's settings at the time of calculation. If the initial expiry was 20 days from the last modification, a subsequent increase in the expiry period might not retroactively extend the access for existing content.

AJanuary 23

January 23 would imply an expiry of 19 days, which is not consistent with the options or a typical default.

BJanuary 24Correct

Access to Doc1 expires based on the sensitivity label's content expiry setting, which is typically calculated from the document's last modification date. If the initial content expiry period for Label1 was 20 days from the last modification date (January 4), access would expire on January 4 + 20 days = January 24. The subsequent increase of the expiry period to 28 days on January 15 does not retroactively extend the expiry for content already labeled under the shorter period.

CJanuary 25

January 25 would imply an expiry of 21 days, which is not consistent with the assumed initial expiry period leading to the correct answer.

DJanuary 31

January 31 would imply an expiry of 27 days from last modification (Jan 4), or 28 days from creation (Jan 3), which would be the case if the 28-day policy immediately applied and recalculated, but this contradicts the correct answer.
