SYNTECIAN TOOL

Syntecian Office Metadata Cleaner

Advanced assignment workflow

Compare the original before cleaning the edited document

Upload the untouched template and your edited DOCX. Syntecian will compare both files, copy the original document properties into the form as starting values, and let you change only what you want before processing.

1. Upload both documents

The original file is used as the reference. The edited file is the document Syntecian will clean.

Original DocumentUse the untouched assignment/template exactly as it was downloaded. Edited DocumentUse the completed or currently edited version.

2. Review the comparison

The editable fields below have been populated from the Original Document. Change any value before cleaning.

Assignment cleanup

Remove custom document properties Clear descriptive metadata Clear company/manager identity metadata Accept tracked changes while keeping final text Delete review comments Remove RSIDs / editing-session identifiers Disconnect an external attached template Remove custom XML Remove document variables / known plugin data

By default, RSIDs and custom XML are preserved. This helps avoid stripping legitimate Word/template information such as bibliography configuration. Use the removal options only when you intentionally want them removed.
