Description
Hello everyone,
I’ve created three simple Purview sensitivity labels (PUBLIC, RESTRICTED, CONFIDENTIAL). RESTRICTED and CONFIDENTIAL use usage-rights, so every internal employee and group is the owner of the document. External users are not permitted to open the document.
Unfortunately, I can’t export or print my labeled documents in the Office Web View. In Office Desktop, however, the labels work correctly.
This issue occurs for various internal users. Tested with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Co-authoring is enabled. User access never expires. Offline access is permitted.
Do you have any ideas?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the export and print behavior in Office Web View with the three Purview sensitivity labels across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, then compare it with Office Desktop. The payload names no repository files, entry points, or tests. Done means internal users with the stated usage rights can export and print labeled documents in the web view while external users remain blocked.
