We tried to reuse contract exhibits for marketing and someone later identified the client from hidden metadata. Across our document reuse, where are we failing to sanitize files—visible content, metadata, or linked references? Recommend a two-step redaction and metadata-scrub habit and a lightweight review checklist the design team can use before any external sample is released. I want something practical the studio will accept, not legal theatre.

Questions people ask

honest answers

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
