Mitigate Potentially Unsafe Content in Acumen Workbooks

Protect yourself from potentially unsafe content found in workbooks.

Acumen issues different warning messages when you try to open a workbook that has potentially unsafe content. There are two conditions wherein potentially unsafe content is screened:

  • Unknown content in the workbook
  • Unrecognized use in the workbook

Unknown Content in the Workbook

When a workbook is tampered with, Acumen prevents you from opening it with a warning message.

Unrecognized Use in the Workbook

When a workbook has content that is allowed but used in an unexpected way, a different warning message is displayed. This warning message aims to confirm if you want to continue opening the workbook despite the potentially unsafe content.
