Does Microsoft Graph API delta query include sensitivityLabel changes?

Question

Does Microsoft Graph API delta query include sensitivityLabel changes?

Celine Wei 0

The delta query "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/items/root/delta"

I know there is a etag and ctag where etag includes metadata properties in the calculation. But I wonder if

1. this etag includes sensitivityLabel
2. if the delta computed afterward (on when @deltaLink is passed) based off etag, i.e., it will show up in the delta list.

Use case: we want to process the file differently when certain sensitivity labels are added / removed / updated.

Hi @Celine Wei

Thank you for reaching out.

Based on my testing, changing the sensitivity label appears to update the driveItem metadata. The file's eTag changed to a different version, and the LastModifiedDateTime was also updated. However, I could not find any Microsoft documentation, nor did I observe any conclusive evidence from my testing, that explicitly states whether sensitivity label changes are guaranteed to appear in the driveItem/delta feed.

At this point, I can confirm that a sensitivity label change updates the driveItem metadata. However, I cannot confirm whether such changes are consistently returned by a delta query, as you requested. To help you reach your goal more effectively, I recommend engaging with [GitHub Community Forum] for a deeper technical dive or to connect with individuals who have relevant experience and expertise. Some approaches may behave differently or be restricted depending on your specific environment and configuration. These forums include many experienced developers and Microsoft specialists who can assist with troubleshooting and guidance.

Apologies for directing you to the related development support team. As a moderator in this community, I do not have access to backend systems, nor can I directly intervene in Microsoft product functionality. Therefore, my guidance is limited to publicly available Microsoft documentation and resources. That said, I will do my best to provide additional insights and assistance wherever possible.

If you have any additional concerns, feel free to comment below. I would be more than happy to assist.
