Hi Ankit,

• It is not possible to preview our Tables in the Gutenberg Editor yet.
  You can upvote this Feature on this Page. 

  As more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

  You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

  and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
  
  We do have native integrations with Gutenberg, along with other major Page builders such as Divi, Avada, WPBakery and Elementor.
  You can check out more details on these integrations here.
  
  When it comes to a preview of the table in the editor itself, this is only possible with Builders which have a front-end editor, such as the WPBakery front-end editor view.
  
  2. Can I prevent people from downloading data by default and always having download options toggled, off, by default?
  Yes. If you wish to completely disable the possibility for someone to inspect the HTML of your Page or right click the Page and copy some data from the cells - Our Plugin does not have this feature, but you can easily find various tutorials on this online.
  
  For example, here is a useful article made by WP Engine on the topic of how to prevent right click on your WordPress pages to protect the content.
  
  - In regards to having our Table Tools disabled on all tables by default, we don't have this as a 'global toggle' option, but you can go into each individual table settings, and disable it after the table is created.
  
  If you wish to see a 'global toggle option' to disable Table Tools by default - You can make a development suggestion.

  Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

   to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

  I will check with our developers if there is a custom code edit to be applied in order to set all Table Tools in the Plugin to be disabled by default.
  If they find a way to do this, I will make sure to report back and share it with you.
  

  
  And i just wanted to point out that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing

   on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,  

  as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),

   

  and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, 

  so if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)

  Let me know if you have any additional questions.  :)

  
  
  

Hi Ankit,
Sorry, I am not sure we understood that question.

If you wish to prevent data export via Table Export Tools from the back-end in the WP-Admin area, we don't have this solution, because an Administrator User can not be prevented to go in the table back-end and enable Table tools to export table data.


For example, if you wanted an 'opposite' use-case, to allow only Admin users to export table data via Table Tools on back-end while preventing Table Tools export on front-end, you can do a workaround with two tables.

You can just make one main Manual table for Admins for example - Which they use on back-end.

And make an additional SQL Query table which pulls the same data from the original manual Table - on that second SQL Table, disable Table Tools option - and then users on front-end cant' export table data.

When it comes to preventing table download on back-end, an Administrator user can not be prevented to enable Table Tools and simply export table data.
If that is what you need, we don't have any built-in solution.

You can suggest it to our developers, though - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,

you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.

We also added this new developer's handbook, which can allow users with coding skills to make custom add-ons.

Our developers will keep adding more custom hooks/examples there over time.

Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.

You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.

( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)

Let me know if we misunderstood the goal.
