Disable Transforms (Polish) for your organization

Admins can turn off Transforms (Polish) for every organization member at once. Transforms are on by default until an admin changes the setting, and Team, Business and Enterprise organizations get this control without an extra subscription.

How to disable Transforms for your organization

1. Sign in to admin.wisprflow.ai with an admin account.

2. Open Settings → Organization.

3. Open the Transforms dropdown in the Dictation section and choose Disabled for everyone.

4. Click Turn off Transforms in “Turn off Transforms for your organization?”, which reads “Transforms is a feature that uses generative AI to refine text. Saved settings and content will not be deleted.”

5. Check that the dropdown reads Disabled for everyone once the dialog closes. There is no success notification.

Transforms stay on until you confirm; Cancel changes nothing. If saving fails, the dropdown returns to its previous value and an error appears. Re-saving the current value sends no change to members.

On Mac and Windows the change applies when organization settings refresh, with no need to restart Flow. For organizations with more than 5,000 members, allow about five minutes.

What changes while Transforms are off

Polish and Transform suggestions are blocked even where controls remain visible. Dictation continues as plain, untransformed text, exactly as when a member turns off their own Transforms switch.

Mac and Windows

• Controls: The Hub Transforms page, Flow Bar wand and picker, and Notepad Transform controls disappear; open pickers and panels close. Opening Transforms through links or navigation history is blocked, and an open Transforms page returns to Home without a message explaining the change.

• Suggestions and edits: Notepad suggestions, follow-up suggestions and free-form Transform edits stop, and late results are discarded without an error.

• Automatic Polish: Automatic refinements stop, and Reveal edit and Accept edits cannot apply pending automatic edits, which are discarded.

• Notifications: Transform promos on Home, Configure polish prompts, activation nudges and edit-ready notices disappear, displayed notifications clear, and older actions cannot reopen Transforms.

• Shortcuts: Polish shortcuts stop working and the Transform row disappears from Settings → Shortcuts.

• Comparisons: Stored Transform comparisons are cleared and their viewer closes; the “Transform view changes” shortcut stays available but no longer opens one.

iOS and Android

iOS and Android keep their controls visible instead of hiding them. On iOS, failures do not mention the organization restriction: Polish shows a generic error that clears after 10 seconds, and voice editing shows “Couldn't apply edit.”

What happens to work in progress

On Mac and Windows, before a paste is requested, running Polish and Transform work is cancelled without a “Polish cancelled” notification.

• Automatic Polish after dictation: Flow pastes the original dictated text instead, if pasting is allowed and the member is still signed in to the same account.

• Selected text: A manual Polish leaves the existing text untouched; if the change lands during undo for a re-Polish or automatic edit, Flow restores the original text.

• Pending Notepad output: Transform preview tabs close and unsent Transform messages are cleared, even if Send is clicked. Dictation history keeps the raw transcript with no pasted result.

If an already-requested paste fails or times out, Flow copies the original text to the clipboard and shows a recovery notification instead of pasting it. Paste that text into your target app to recover it.

Restore access and shortcuts

Set Transforms to Enabled in Settings → Organization → Dictation. No confirmation dialog is required, and saved Transforms become accessible again.

Saved Polish shortcuts survive restarts and return only when both the organization and the member allow Transforms. Shortcuts a member deliberately cleared stay cleared.

Still need help?

Contact support if the dropdown keeps reverting, or if desktop members can still use Polish after the change reaches their app. Include your organization, platform, device, error message and the steps you tried.
