Hi Dincer_Ozberber,

 

Block Download for PDF should be available today.

 

Block Download for video should be coming very soon! Rollout will start this month and finish in January! 

 

Hope that helps!

StephenRice Is there a way to get early access to the block download feature? Or maybe get this feature to roll out for our tenant as early as possible?
We are desperately waiting for this feature due to legislation in our country.

    We will be rolling the feature out to Targeted Release first so if you opt your tenant into the TR program, it should show up sooner. Hope that helps!
