Records Management – Configure a record label to start unlocked for user-driven records declaration
Coming soon to general availability, we are introducing a new capability to better manage the lifecycle of documents labeled as a record. This feature enables Records Management administrators to create retention labels that will mark contents in SharePoint and OneDrive as records but will not be “locked” (restricted for edits) until a user manually locks it. This will help customers who use automatic or default labeling of content which includes documents in a draft state which are not yet final and will need to become a locked record until they reach this stage of their lifecycle.
