- About Clearance information security
  All data and files imported in Clearance are encrypted, and all communication with the platform is secure. These encryption and security measures ensure that sensitive data, files, and communications are only seen by users with the appropriate access.
- Uploading files to cases
  To share digital evidence with other authorized investigators, you can upload videos, media, and other file types to new and existing cases. You can then view, download, or edit the files.
- Configuring file details
  Configure file details to better classify and compare your evidence files.
- Reviewing media
  After media files have been uploaded, you can play them from either the file page or the evidence player page. You can also play videos with GPS trail location data, if GPS data is available.

- Sharing files
  To let internal or external members of your organization view, modify, and manage files, you can share files with them and define their access rights on a file by file basis.
- Inviting guests to view files
  If you want to share a specific file with someone who does not already have a Clearance account, without allowing them to search or view other files, you can invite this person as a guest.
- Associating cases with a file
  To track which files are involved in a case or incident, you can manually associate one or more cases with a file in the File page.
- Linking files to another case
  You can link multiple files already associated with one case to another in Clearance.
- Searching evidence by device assignment
  To find all evidence recorded by a user associated with a device, you can search evidence by device assignment. You can also use date or time range filters to search evidence by device assignment within a specified time range.
- File formats you can preview in Clearance
  A file in Clearance is a piece of digital evidence, such as a video, image, document, or other type of file. Files can be grouped within one or more cases.
- Downloading files
  After files have been uploaded in the system, you can download them from either the File page or the Case page.
- Changing access policies for files
  After a file has been uploaded in the system, you can select which users and groups have access to the file, and which permission levels they have.
- Protecting files from deletion
  To keep files longer than the specified retention policy, you can place an indefinite hold on a file by using the Protect from deletion option.
- Deleting files
  To remove any digital evidence that is linked to an incident, you can delete the associated files.
- Restoring files
  To restore any digital evidence that is linked to an incident, you can restore the associated files.
