1. What changed: protection status and records in one place

Qwen Work added a Security Center in its 1.2.0 update on September 21, 2026. This AI office tool now provides a Settings entry for viewing the status of capabilities such as data encryption, key-operation records, sensitive-information detection, file-deletion protection and bulk-deletion confirmation, alongside approval and file-protection history.

The same release added an automatic-approval mode in the input area, described as including risk detection and prompts before key operations. The Security Center provides status and records; automatic approval is a separate execution setting.

2. How it helps: find what to check before and after organizing files

Consider organizing a downloads folder. “Tidy this up” might involve classifying, moving, renaming or deleting files, with different consequences. You need to know which relevant protections the software provides, what operations the task involved, and whether the result matches your request.

A central entry point makes this information easier to find. It can help people working with local material define the scope, review approval clues and investigate problems. That is an analysis of how to use the feature; an enabled protection does not imply that every risk is detected or every file can be recovered.

3. How to use it: inspect the status, then try a small copy

Confirm that your client includes the 1.2.0 update. Here is a suggested first use:

  1. Open the Security Center in Settings. Inspect capabilities relevant to the task, such as file-deletion protection and bulk-deletion confirmation. The log documents viewing status, not a switch for every item here.
  2. Prepare material you can check. Copy a small folder without sensitive information for a trial, keeping the originals. Decide whether you want classification, movement or suggestions only.
  3. Make the goal specific. For example: “List proposed categories for photos, spreadsheets and documents, showing where each file would go. Do not move, rename or delete anything yet.” This suggested task instruction does not replace software permission controls.
  4. Confirm the scope before execution. Check which files and actions are proposed before continuing; a mode labeled “automatic” is not a reason to broaden authorization.
  5. Compare records with the files. Review relevant approval and protection history in the Security Center, then inspect the actual files. A record provides a trail, not proof of a correct result.

The release notes do not give risk-detection accuracy, full account availability or a deletion-recovery guarantee. If the operation’s scope is unclear, stop at the classification proposal; that alone can help reveal whether your request is specific enough.
