This FAQ covers 3 common questions about download restrictions, workflow impact, and rollout communication, plus a short glossary for key terms.
FAQ
After this feature is enabled, can members still download company documents?
- This feature mainly restricts copying, moving, or saving company documents to locations outside the organization.
- If you also need to restrict downloads, you can use related controls such as download restrictions together with this policy.
- Combining multiple document security policies can provide broader protection coverage.
Will normal work processes be affected after transfer is blocked?
- Normal collaboration on company documents inside the organization can usually continue.
- The restricted actions are the ones that copy or move documents to locations outside the organization.
- If external collaboration is still needed, use controlled sharing methods and plan permissions and validity periods in advance.
Should members be notified before this feature is enabled?
- It is recommended to explain the purpose of the policy and its impact before rollout.
- This can reduce confusion when members can no longer move company documents to personal spaces.
- If your organization already has a standard security policy, this control can be included in that routine governance process.
