SafeToSend

Every document remembers more than you think: tracked changes, blunt comments, author names, hidden text. SafeToSend shows you what's hiding — before the client does.

The problem

The comment the client was never meant to read

It happens in every office eventually: a contract goes out with tracked changes still visible, a margin comment saying "they'll never accept this", or metadata revealing who really wrote the proposal. The damage ranges from awkward to lawsuit.

SafeToSend is the pre-flight check. One click scans the document and reports everything that shouldn't travel: pending revisions, comments, document properties, hidden text. Pro cleans it all in one click and gives you the green "ready to send" badge — so the only thing in the file is what you meant to send.

FAQ

Does it catch everything Word's Document Inspector catches?

Honest answer: not quite. Word's add-in API covers revisions, comments, core properties and hidden text — the leaks that cause real incidents. Some deeper metadata (like embedded RSIDs) is only reachable by Word's built-in Inspector, and SafeToSend says so in the pane and links you straight to it rather than pretending.

Can I undo a clean?

Cleaning runs in your open document, so Ctrl+Z works — and your saved file is untouched until you save. Many users clean a copy; SafeToSend reminds you before its first clean.

Does my document leave Word?

No. Scanning and cleaning run locally in your Word session. Nothing is uploaded, ever. See the privacy policy.
