Release Date: February 9, 2025
- The left navigation pane in Cloud Backup for Google Workspace and ReCenter has been streamlined for improved usability. Here are the key updates:
- In the left navigation pane of Cloud Backup for Google Workspace, the **Activity** and **System** sections have been added. The **Activity** section includes **Report** **center** (renamed from **Report**) and **Job** **monitor**, and the **System** section includes **Settings** and **System auditor**.
- In ReCenter, the **Contact admin** () button is now located under the **System** section.
- In **Settings** > **General**, administrators can now enable the approval process for data deletion requests from **Manually** **delete backup** **data** and **Data subject access requests**. With the **Approval process for data deletion** setting enabled, data deletion requests and email notifications will be sent to administrators. Upon approval, deletion jobs will proceed. After the approval process has been enabled, you must contact AvePoint technical support if you want to disable this setting.
- In **Settings** > **Self-service**, the **Manage access** panel has been newly designed. You can now toggle services and select actions to assign permissions to users. The **Chat (Preview)** service is now available in **Self-service** > **Manage access**.
- Cloud Backup for Google Workspace now supports retrieving job information via AvePoint Online Services modern APIs. By invoking the API method with the **gsuite.graph.read.all** permission, you can gain in-depth insights and data on specific job reports, improving your organization’s ability to manage and analyze job information effectively.
- The retention logic for Cloud Backup for Google Workspace subscription renewals has been improved. If your updated subscription has a shorter retention period than your current configuration, retention periods will be automatically adjusted to match the new subscription limits. If the updated subscription has the same or longer retention period, no changes will be made. To verify your configuration and ensure you are aware of any changes, refer to **Settings** > **General** > **Retention policy**.
- In Cloud Backup for Google Workspace > **Settings** > **Self-service** > **Access settings**, administrators can now manage users’ permission for exporting **Chat (Preview)** backup data from the ReCenter portal. Users with the assigned permission can access the ReCenter portal and export **Chat (Preview)** backup data.
