Can the workspace anonymize or pseudonymize my data for me?
Overview
No. There is no built-in tool that automatically anonymizes or pseudonymizes research material. If your research requires removing or replacing direct identifiers, do this before uploading files, using your own de-identification process.
What to do
- Remove or replace names, contact details, and other direct identifiers before import.
- Keep the identifier key — the mapping from real names to codes — outside the workspace and secured separately.
- Follow your consent form, ethics approval, and institutional data protection guidance for the required de-identification standard.
