Papercuts: Stop the Bleed
summary
Templates routinely leak prior-client details unless teams sanitize templates by replacing nontransferable fields with dummy text and visible signifiers. Word files keep hidden pixels so crop then save images externally or use Shift+Win+S, and save as .dotx to force new documents. Strip metadata and long version histories; 2018 research finds 72% of CEOs admit to taking IP. Lock screens on kiosks and use PDF before release and separate internal/external away messages to avoid accidental disclosure.
