• Is there any time carved out in the next 26 days specifically for migration?
• Where should these documents be moved to (is there a specified file structure and file naming convention)?

• How should we migrate files with intentionally limited sharing that should only be accessible by a select few?
• What should we do with medium sensitivity Gmail messages?
• There may only be a few files each person has to move, but determining which those are by scanning through all our docs will take much more time. Is there guidance on how to be efficient with that time (ie: is it possible to you view only the docs you own)?
• What happens to these migrated files once we have Office 365? Do we migrate them again? Is there a file structure in the Z drive we can set up now to minimize the time/effort involved?
• (Adding this from the next column) Can we redact files? Is that even possible with the history of the file preserved?]]> 2019-09-04 19:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/elizbond/dd_monthly/wish/380110464 https://padlet.com/elizbond/dd_monthly/wish/380506900
