San Francisco, CA, August 24, 2011 -Workshare, a leading provider of document collaboration software, today releases Workshare Protect 7 to help reduce the number of times people accidentally email documents with hidden comments and suggested edits not intended for public distribution. Workshare Protect 7 works within Microsoft Office, allowing users to easily remove confidential information (metadata) hidden within documentation, financial filings and other business documents.

With Version 7 's significant redesign to the removal interface, it is now much faster to use and more intuitive so users can easily clean metadata from attached documents when sending emails. Users can also clean PDF documents as well as choose to process the removal of information with Workshare Protect Server rather than with a desktop application.

This latest release of Workshare Protect 7 simplifies the installation process, speeding the deployment of the solution throughout the enterprise. IT managers will find a more efficient configuration manager and much easier parameters management so users can be up and running on the software with minimum hassle.

Key business benefits of the version 7 release include:

• Protecting your reputation by removing hidden information from documents
• Increased security with PDF metadata cleaning
• Optimized for Enterprise installation, integration and management
• Custom integrations simplified with more APIs
• New platform support

"Exchanging documents that may contain hidden data with colleagues and people outside your organization can lead to embarrassing situations and have legal and compliance issues," said Scott Smull, CEO of Workshare. "The new upgrade to Workshare Protect provides an easy way to remove this hidden information within documents and provide a more secure document exchange."
