## FAQ

### Does this remove every hidden stream?

No. It strips common document Info fields (title, author, subject, keywords, dates, creator/producer). For stronger prep, use Deep Clean and review with Hidden Content Auditor.

### Will page content change?

No. Only metadata fields are cleared. Visible text and images stay the same.

### Should job seekers strip resume metadata?

Often yes — author and tool names can leak from Word exports. Use Remove metadata or Job Application Packet before portal uploads.
