# Adding sensitive labels

You can use the [Sensitive Labels Management](/data-quality-self-hosted/admin-configuration/admin-console/sensitive-labels.md) page in Admin Console to add custom sensitive labels. While working with your data, you can [add sensitivity labels](/data-quality-self-hosted/core-concepts/profile/adding-data-class-and-sensitivity-labels.md) at the column-level on the Profile page.
