Available in beta: Convert your client-side encrypted Slides after a Vault or Takeout export
Admins can now bulk export client-side encrypted (CSE) Slides using Vault or Data Export (takeout), and then convert those exports into PowerPoint files. This allows your organization to retain complete ownership, access, and control of sensitive data in a highly portable format.
Eligible Google Workspace admins can sign up for the CSE Office Interop beta program, which provides immediate access to CSE compatible export, import, takeout and office editing features. Organizations who’ve previously signed up for the beta program should see this feature in their domains now.
Getting started
- Admins: Admins with eligible Workspace licenses can sign up for the CSE Office Interop beta. We’ll provide more information on how to get started if you’re accepted.
- End users: This launch has no impact on end users.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Available now for customers previously accepted into the CSE Office Interop beta program and upon acceptance into the beta for those who sign up in the future
