Click the File tab to access Backstage view. From the Info pane, click Check for Issues, then select Inspect Document from the drop-down menu. You may be prompted to save your file before running Document Inspector.

Document Inspector helps you find and remove hidden data and personal information in Excel workbooks. Important: We highly recommend that you use the Document Inspector on a copy of your original workbook, because it is not always possible to restore the data that the Document Inspector removes.

Document Inspector is a feature in MS Word that identifies and removes hidden or sensitive information from a document. It helps maintain data privacy and integrity by detecting and eliminating tracked changes, personal information, custom XML data, and more. To use it, open the document, go to “File” > “Check for Issues” > “Inspect Document.” Select the content to inspect, review the results, and remove unwanted information.
