Privacy context

Why remove Excel metadata?

Office files are packages with hidden property files. They can preserve authorship, company, application, and custom workflow fields.

Cleaning targets hidden metadata only. It is not a substitute for reviewing visible content, comments, tracked changes, or redactions.

Authorship can be embeddedCreator and last-modified-by fields may expose employee names, accounts, or collaborators.
Organization fields can leakCompany, manager, template, and custom properties may reveal clients, departments, or internal process data.
Revision context can persistCreated, modified, app, and document statistics can disclose timing, tooling, and production history.

Does this remove hidden sheets?

No. Hidden sheets are workbook content and should be reviewed separately.
