Managing badge labels

Edit, disable, or delete classification labels in Google Admin Console to keep your label configuration up to date with your organization's data classification policy.

Edit a label

  1. On the Classification labels page, select the label you want to edit.
  2. Under Edit label, modify the label name, field name, or options as required.
  3. Click Publish changes to apply the updates.
Note: Field types cannot be changed after a label is published. Only option names, badge colors, and descriptions can be edited. For more information, see the Edit and monitor classification labels.

Disable a label

Disabling a label prevents users from applying it to new files but does not remove it from files where it is already applied.
  1. On the Classification labels page, select the label you want to disable.
  2. Click More actions > Disable.
Note: For more information, see Enable or disable a classification label.

Delete a label

Important: A label must be disabled before it can be deleted. Deleting a label removes it permanently and cannot be undone.
  1. On the Classification labels page, disable the label first. See Disable a label above.
  2. Click More actions > Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

After deleting a label in Google Admin Console, sync the changes in App Security to remove it from the Fields and Options table. See Enabling and syncing badge labels in App Security.

Note: For more information, see the Edit and monitor classification labels.
