# Resolve ToBeClassified before release
## Description
`DataClassification = ToBeClassified` is a development marker, not a releasable privacy state. It tells reviewers and tooling that the field still needs classification work. Shipping it prevents data-subject, retention, and telemetry tooling from making a correct decision about the field.
## Best Practice
Replace every `ToBeClassified` value with the narrowest accurate classification before the PR ships to customers. If the field inherits a correct table-level DataClassification, remove the placeholder rather than leaving a field-level `ToBeClassified` override.
## Anti Pattern
Treating ToBeClassified as a safe default because the field is new or because the final classification is uncertain. Uncertainty should bias toward a stronger classification, not toward an unresolved placeholder.
