Most files contain metadata which is information characterizing the content of the file. For example:

• Cameras record data about when and where a picture was taken and what camera was used.
• Office documents automatically add author and company information to texts and spreadsheets.

Use MAT to clean the metadata from your files before publishing or sharing:

1. Open the Files browser.
2. Navigate to the folder containing the files that you want to clean.
3. Select the files that you want to clean.
4. Right-click (on Mac, click with two fingers) on the files and choose Remove metadata.
