Opening protected files on Windows
Protected files can be opened in Windows using either the Seclore for Windows agent or the Seclore Online editor.
If you have the Seclore for Windows agent installed, you can simply double click on the file to open it.
A helpful permission widget will appear at the bottom right listing protection details. Click on the S icon to view the File Owner and your file permissions.
PDF annotation
PDF files can be annotated in Seclore for Windows and saved - if you have the Edit permission on them.
Seclore for Windows - admin version
You can also install the Seclore for Windows – Admin Version, which requires administrative access to install. The Admin version of the Seclore app supports more formats and enables integration with Endpoint DLP, Classification, and other security tools on your desktop.

Offline access
Accessing a protected file offline requires the Offline permission on the file. This is part of the 'Read' permission group by default.
Opening HTML-wrapped files
You may receive protected files wrapped in HTML format via a protected email (see Protecting Emails). Files are html-wrapped during protection to enable users to open the files on their browser without installing the Seclore agent.
If you do not have the agent installed, double click on the file and follow the instructions to open the file on your browser. See Opening Files Online for details.
If you have the agent installed, download the HTML-wrapped file and double click on it - it will open in the native application directly. If you are using Outlook, you can also open it by double clicking the attachment.
