People continue to accidentally email documents with hidden comments and suggested edits, not by choice, simply an accident most of the time. With the release of Workshare Protect 7 today we now make it easier to remove confidential information (metadata) hidden within documentation, financial filings and other business documents.
With Version 7 's significant redesign to the removal interface, it is now much faster to use and more intuitive so users can easily clean metadata from attached documents when sending emails. You can also clean PDF documents as well as choose to process the removal of information with Workshare Protect Server rather than with a desktop application.
We also spent a lot of time building an efficient configuration manager. Your technology team will find much easier parameters management so users can be up and running with minimum hassle.
If you’re interested in reading about companies that have had metadata embarrassments you might find "High Profile Organizations that Unknowingly Exposed Metadata" a good read. It will give you a quick look at some of the more talked about information leaks.
