Include Document Classification Functions in ArcGIS Pro's Export Layout to PDF

Problem: In Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint, plus Adobe PDF's, our organisation has enabled Add-ins that assign a document classification to every document/email. By default, each document receives the classification "Official" and we can then adjust it down or up to suit the required level of sensitivity. It's been asked that we start applying these categories to our exported PDF maps from ArcGIS Pro. From my research, it seems at present this can only be done doc by doc manually after exporting has happened in Adobe. This may be fine for the occasion map export, but we leverage Map Series to export dozens or hundreds of maps at a time and manually assigning a sensitivity category to each document is not an efficient use of time.

IDEA: Include "Document Classification" that leverages the "Microsoft Purview Information Protection" to the Export Map/Layout pane under the Security settings.

In Microsoft Word:

In Adobe:

Good idea. And when Portal Items with classification were added to the map, use the most sensitive classification as classification for exports.
(So if one layer is "public" and one is "confidential" use "confidential" as label)

Great addition! I haven't used Enterprise before so there's a whole new level of settings there that I don't get access to in ArcGIS Online. I think I'll have to add a separate idea to add that functionality to Online as well!
