New label action: “Do not forward”
This new label action helps to protect the emails with confidential information leakage through the recipients. The recipients can’t forward, copy, or print the email. This action applies for emails only.
Below is the screen-shot of the email with “Do not forward” label action applied.

Forward action disabled in the OWA for the email recipient.
New label action - “Remove protection”
The main business scenario for this action is that the secret documents to be labeled without encryption, so that the collaboration can be done over the SharePoint Online or share to the users who can’t use RMS, but at the same time the right level of label is applied. This action is useful in scenarios where just the labeling alone is required without encryption.
When this label is applied any previously applied protection will be removed by Azure IP and if justification is enabled, then the user is prompted to enter the reason.
