Question:

A user downloads a source document from Vault and finds the macro disabled. Why is the macro disabled in the downloaded source document?

Answer:

The macro is disabled by Microsoft Office, not by Vault. VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros are a common way for malicious actors to gain access to deploy malware and ransomware. Therefore, to help improve security, Microsoft Office changes the default behavior of Office applications to block macros in files from the internet.
