Exercise directions

Step 1

If you’re not already signed in, sign in to your domain as the Administrator at admin.google.com.

Step 2

Open a new browser tab, and navigate to vault.google.com. This will open Google Vault.

Step 3

Click the Matters card.

Step 4

Hover over, and click on the Project X row to open it.

Step 5

Click on the Search tab, then choose the Gmail service. 

Step 6

Explore the search options available. Note that, in addition to performing your search, you can get a count of expected results before you search (as searches can take some time), and you can also export directly from this search page.

Step 7

Run any search you like, just make sure it produces some results.

Step 8

From the search results, click Export. You must give the export a name and you can choose the output format for later analysis. Alternatively, you also have the option to select the Save tab and save this query to run later.
