Frequently asked questions
Does Inspect Document remove the Company field?+
Inspect Document categorises Company under 'Document Properties and Personal Information' and may remove it — but inconsistently. ExcelJS directly targets app.xml for reliable removal.
What is the AppVersion field?+
AppVersion stores the version of the application that last saved the file, e.g. '16.0000' for Excel 2019/365.
Is it safe to run both Inspect Document and App Metadata Wiper?+
Yes. The operations are complementary. Running both ensures the most complete metadata removal possible.
