    Confirm that each selected file belongs in the bundle and comes from a location the team is allowed to use.

  2. Prepare one compact archive

    Bring the selected files together so they can be stored or handed off as a single package.

  3. Inspect the archive contents

    Check file names and contents for missing, unexpected, outdated, or sensitive material before the bundle is used.

  4. Choose an approved destination

    Confirm where the archive should be stored and who needs access to complete the work.

  5. Approve any external upload or sharing

    Have an authorized person verify the exact archive, destination, and recipient access before anything is shared.

The handoff

A compact archive of the selected files, with its contents and destination checked by a person before access is granted.

Keep in mind

An archive can hide sensitive or unexpected files from a quick glance. Check every included item, consider protection appropriate to the content, and require a person to approve the destination and access before uploading or sharing externally.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select approved file sources

Set archive and protection preferences

Choose a suitable archive format and any additional protection needed for the types of information included.

Choose storage and access owners

Name the destination, intended audience, and person responsible for checking access before sharing.

Test a representative bundle
