# Enable the Windows 11 right-click menu for Draftable Clean

> Add the Clean in Draftable command to the main Windows 11 right-click menu so you can clean document metadata straight from File Explorer.

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

* Windows 11
* Draftable Clean 26.7.0 or later (see the [Draftable Clean release log](/hc/en-us/Draftable-Clean-articles/Release-logs-and-notes/Release-Log-Draftable-Clean))

## Enable the menu

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Windows integration settings">
    Open Draftable Clean, click the settings gear, and select **Integrations**. Scroll to the **Windows integration** section.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the Windows 11 context menu">
    Click **Install Windows 11 context menu**.

    This change needs administrator approval, so approve the Windows prompt when it appears. Applying the change closes all open File Explorer windows.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm it is installed">
    Once installed, the button changes to **Remove Windows 11 context menu**. You can use that button at any time to take the command back out of the menu.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Clean a file from File Explorer">
    Right-click a supported file in File Explorer and select **Clean in Draftable**. Draftable Clean opens with the selected file ready to scan and clean.

</Steps>

## Remove the menu

To remove the command, return to **Settings > Integrations > Windows integration** and click **Remove Windows 11 context menu**.

## 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](mailto:support@draftable.com) for the deployment package.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The Clean in Draftable command does not appear">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A button is greyed out or says &#x22;Managed by your administrator&#x22;">
    Your organization controls this setting, so you cannot change it yourself. Contact your IT administrator.
