What’s changing
Google added support for migrating Microsoft Exchange In-Place Archives to the Google Workspace Migrate beta. Admins can use this new functionality to migrate the content of their user’s Exchange In-Place Archives to Google Workspace. Additionally, admins can:
- Make migrated archive mail only visible in Google Vault (not Gmail).
- Make attachments of archived mail uploaded to Google Drive only visible in Google Vault. If you turn on this setting, large email attachments will be visible in Vault (not Drive).
- Choose how to apply labels to archive folders in Gmail.
Who’s impacted
Admins only

- Admins will need to update their current Google Workspace Migrate platform to access this new feature.
