Steps Run order and common questions

- Run the inspection tool locally in your browser.
- Review the metadata result, then copy or download it if the workbench offers that action.
- Use related retained tools for validation, cleanup, conversion, or the next workflow step.
Use it well Examples, checks, limits, and recovery paths
Bad inputs
- Legacy .doc files, which do not use the DOCX package structure.
- Documents that need a visual tracked-changes review rather than package metadata inspection.
- Assuming blank standard properties means the package contains no other identifying information.
Output checklist
- Review creator, last modifier, company, application, revision, and timestamp fields together.
- Compare properties with the intended recipient copy rather than the private working document.
- Open the document in an Office application when comments, revisions, custom XML, or visual layout also matter.
Failure modes
- Missing properties are reported as absent rather than inferred.
- Damaged or non-DOCX ZIP packages can fail package parsing.
- Custom metadata and application-specific extensions may require deeper package inspection.
Runtime limits
- Runs locally and parses the selected DOCX package in the browser.
- The report covers supported core and application properties, not every possible embedded part.
- Viewing metadata does not remove it or create a cleaned sharing copy.
