Sometimes you may need to sign in to Workplace from a shared device such as a conference room computer or a shared family personal computer. To protect any confidential or sensitive data, it is important to sign out of such devices.
However, when signing out, you may not be aware that a Hosted Application or a file is currently open and not saved. To help prevent data loss, Workplace has implemented Simple Sign Out.
Simple Sign Out prompts users to address potential data loss scenarios before completing a sign out request.
