  • Administrator can unresolve only the latest version of a file or email. However, all the previous versions of the file or email are unresolved by default.

  • Once unresolved, inSync moves the file or email from the Resolved tab to the Active tab on the Sensitive Data Governance Dashboard.

  • Administrator will not be able to restore the non-compliant file or email to the user’s device. However, administrator can download the non-compliant file to a local computer.

  • If the violation was marked as False Positive, unresolving the violation does not remove the file from the File Hash Whitelist. You must manually go to the File Hash Whitelist tab and remove the file from the list if you want inSync to scan that file hash.
