What’s changing 
We’re introducing updates around exporting user data for Google Workspace customers: 

First, all Google Workspace customers can choose to export the data of a specific user, rather than a customer’s full set of user generated content. 





Second, you’ll notice an improved user interface for the data export tool, which provides more detailed information about exports, records a longer history of exports, and offers more features (filtered takeout). 




Third, Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, Education Standard, Education Plus, and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade customers now have additional options for exporting data. If you’re using one of these editions, you can export content for a set of individual users. For example, you can choose to export all data for several specific users rather than all data for the entire domain. This option expands on the enhanced data export options that were released last year, which are: 
  • Export user generated content by organizational unit. 
  • Export user generated content by group. 

Who’s impacted 
Admins and end users 

Why it’s important 
Historically, data export has been limited to a customer’s full set of user generated content. However, customers experience many scenarios where exporting only a portion of user generated content is relevant. This provides customers with more granular controls, especially as their business and compliance needs continue to evolve. By providing more export options, customers can retrieve the specific data they need, when they need it.
