This option can be used to clean and rebuild files offline, directly from your
machine without sending the file outside of your trust boundary.

1. From the Welcome screen or side navigation menu, select **Clean files now**.
2. In the window, you can input files in two ways:

   * **Drag & drop** – drop a file directly into the blue drop zone.
   * **File input** – click **select files** to select a file from your device.

*	**Time started** - the time you initiated the file processing.
