Hello,
After executing SEG projects, we get excel ".xls" exports that are in protected mode. Has anyone ever encountered this problem or would have an idea of a solution?

I want to disable protected mode for all exports.

 

Thank you so much.

Have you tried setting the options in excel that disable protected mode/view. File --> Options --> Trust Center --> Protected View & File --> Options --> Trust Center --> File Block Settings. I don't know if that can resolve the issue, but it might.

Thanks for your reply JosvanderVelden. I already tried but with each new export the rule disappears and the file goes into protected mode, I wondered if something could be done on SEG.

Protected View is a feature of microsoft office. I don't think it can be influenced through manipulation with SEG. Maybe if you export to .xlsx the behaviour is different?
