Interface Options:

Use ShredIt the way you’re most comfortable:

• “Drag and drop”
• “Select from menu”
• Use the buttons

Safety Features:

Since there is no way to recover an item that is accidentally shredded, ShredIt comes with built-in safety features, including:

• The “Confirm before Shred” feature. By setting confirmation on, you give yourself an opportunity to cancel shredding of an item.
• The “Safe Place” feature. If you have items you want to protect from accidentally shredding, put them in a Safe Place Folder. Anything stored in a Safe Place Folder cannot be shredded.
• The “Don’t panic” disk wipe feature. Dropping a disk on ShredIt, will only wipe the free space, not your data. We’ve made it easy to wipe the free space of a disk and more difficult to shred the contents of a disk. This is intentional, so that you don’t accidentally shred the contents of a disk (i.e. your data).
• Comprehensive documentation. Clearly written, step-by-step instructions are provided, ensuring you know exactly how to use each feature.

• US Department of Defense (DoD 5220)
