    Dear G Suite Administrator,
    
    [Final Reminder] On August 30th, 2018, legacy comments in binary files will  
    be deleted and deprecated. If you'd like to recover these legacy comments  
    available in your G Suite domain gapp.nthu.edu.tw, please make sure you are  
    logged into your G Suite domain admin account and fill out this Google  
    Forms survey by checking the confirmation checkbox.
    
    We recently launched a new feature in Google Drive that allows users to  
    comment on binary files while in the Google Drive preview pane. Binary  
    files are files stored in Drive other than Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and  
    Drawings - eg Microsoft Office files and PDFs. As a part of this launch,  
    the "Can view" permission setting for binary files is also changing. Users  
    with "Can view" access to binary files can now view comments on that file,  
    but they can't reply to those comments or create new comments.
    
    We're reaching out to you because your G Suite domain gapp.nthu.edu.tw has  
    binary files that contain "legacy" comments. These are comments inserted  
    into a file using the Google Drive API, or via a third party application  
    prior to the launch of this feature. They will remain invisible to users  
    with "Can view" access.
    
    What's changed with this feature launch
    
    The new "comments in Google Drive preview pane" feature is enabled on any  
    binary file that doesn't already contain legacy comments. Comments created  
    through this new feature are visible to users with "Can view" access.
    
    
    Users with “Can view” access
    
    Google Docs files stored in Google Drive
    (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings) - Can't see comments
    - Can't make new comments
    - Can't reply to existing comments
    
    Binary files stored in Google Drive (eg images, videos, Microsoft Office  
    files, PDF files, etc.) that have no legacy comments - Can see comments
    - Can't make new comments
    - Can't reply to existing comments
    
    Binary files stored in Google Drive (eg images, videos, Microsoft Office  
    files, PDF files, etc.) that have legacy comments - Can't see comments
    - Can't make new comments
    - Can't reply to existing comments
    - These legacy comments are visible through the 'Details' sidebar in Google  
    Drive preview pane, only to users with “Can comment”, “Can edit” or “Owner”  
    access.
    
    
    On July 31st, 2018
    
    Legacy comments in binary files will be hidden from the Google Drive  
    preview pane and the Drive API, and will no longer be accessible to end  
    users.
    If you'd like to recover these legacy comments available in your G Suite  
    domain, please make sure you are logged into your G Suite domain admin  
    account and fill out this Google Forms survey by checking the confirmation  
    checkbox. We will process your request and recover your legacy comments  
    within 2 weeks of your form submission. These recovered legacy comments  
    will be made visible to users with "Can view" access. If you don't want  
    recovered legacy comments to be visible to users with "Can view" access, we  
    recommend unsharing the document after recovering the comments from their  
    legacy state.
    The new "comments in Google Drive preview pane" feature will still not be  
    enabled on these binary files with legacy comments.
    
    
    On August 30th, 2018
    
    We will delete and deprecate the legacy comments in these binary files.
    The new comments in Google Drive preview pane feature will be enabled on  
    all binary files.
    
    Why we are making this change to "Can view" sharing role permission for  
    binary files
    With this change, we're ensuring easier interoperability between Google  
    Drive, Microsoft Office, and other popular applications. Historically,  
    users with "Can view" access to a binary file stored in Drive could not see  
    comments, action items, and/or suggested edits in the file. However,  
    certain applications (such as Microsoft Office and PDF) allow users with  
    view access to see comments and tracked changes. For example, if you share  
    a read-only Microsoft Word file as an email attachment, the recipient can  
    see comments and tracked changes in the Word application.
    
    If you have additional questions or need help, please contact G Suite  
    support.
    
    Thanks,
