    How to stop showing the "Data Sensitivity" bar

    A new bar has been showing up in Excel, which seems to be called the "Data Sensitivity" bar. It appears with every workbook I open, and when a create a new workbook. No matter how many times I have opened a given workbook, closing the Data Sensitivity bar each time, that bar displays again each time I open it.

    This is on Office 365 ProPlus.

    Is it possible to make it go away?

    Re: How to stop showing the "Data Sensitivity" bar

    I have never seen that "bar", can you provide a screen shot?
    Have you googled it, maybe it is something specific to 365 (which I dont have or use)?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Re: How to stop showing the "Data Sensitivity" bar

    Turns out it was a COM Add-in called "Microsoft Azure Information Protection". I unchecked it from the COM Add-ins dialog and it went away. I tried exiting and restarting Excel, and it's still gone. Woo-hoo!

    Googling that name turned up this information on it, including a screen shot of Word with the bar:

    Re: How to stop showing the "Data Sensitivity" bar

    I don't think I am supposed to change that functionality due to IT rules. Can this be hidden with VBA?
