Describe the error you see in the documentation, or the correction you suggest

The file "Deliverables MAR 2026.2.xlsx" in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Process Catalog download appears to be protected with IRM / sensitivity protection.

Download package:
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Process Catalog
File: Deliverables MAR 2026.2.xlsx
Published: 23 April 2026

Issue:
When opening the file in Excel, it appears to be protected by Information Rights Management and cannot be opened/used by external implementation partners.

Impact:
This workbook is normally used as part of the Azure DevOps import process for Dynamics 365 implementation projects. The IRM protection blocks partner/customer use of the official Microsoft-provided template.

Expected result:
The workbook should be downloadable and usable without IRM protection, consistent with the Business Process Catalog guidance and Azure DevOps import process.

Can Microsoft please republish the workbook without IRM/sensitivity-label protection, or confirm where an unsecured official version can be downloaded?
