Field notes
The format notes distinguish metadata from content: DOCX and XLSX properties are in scope, while comments, tracked changes, hidden sheets, formulas, and cell values are not. For images, the page says supported EXIF, XMP, IPTC, text, and comment metadata may be removed depending on format, while color profiles remain. It also warns that removing CSV markers can affect how spreadsheet software detects encoding or separators.
