Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR)
Enabling the File Sanitization feature creates a secure version of a file by removing potentially harmful content. This process utilizes OPSWAT's Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR) technology.
For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the Deep CDR user guide.

Enabling Deep CDR
In order to be able to use the Deep CDR functionality, Deep CDR must be active in MetaDefender Core instance or Metadefender Cloud.
- Navigate to Workflows from the left-side navigation menu.
- Select the workflow for which you want to enable Deep CDR.
- In the Workflow Diagram, click on the "Deep CDR" node
- In the modal window that's opened, select the Deep CDR tab and toggle Active to enable File Sanitization

Enabling Deep CDR, also enables the configuration nodes for sanitized files that were allowed or blocked, which define what will happen with the sanitized file. Disabling Deep CDR disables the two nodes.
