Draftable Clean can add a Clean in Draftable command to the main Windows 11 right-click menu, so you can clean a document’s metadata straight from File Explorer without opening the app first. This is the short menu you see first, not the Show more options overflow menu.

Prerequisites

Enable the menu

1

Open the Windows integration settings

Open Draftable Clean, click the settings gear, and select Integrations. Scroll to the Windows integration section.

For IT administrators

The Windows 11 menu can also be enabled across managed machines as part of an enterprise deployment, without each user doing it themselves. Contact support@draftable.com for the deployment package.

Troubleshooting

Applying the change closes all File Explorer windows. Open a new File Explorer window and try again. If it still does not appear, sign out of Windows and back in. This feature requires Windows 11.
Your organization controls this setting, so you cannot change it yourself. Contact your IT administrator.
