What you need to know

• If you wish to edit a Hot Folder, remove a Hot Folder, or pause protection in a Hot Folder, you need to log in to the Hot Folder Cabinet.
• When you pause protection of a Hot Folder, only the files already protected by that Hot Folder before pausing protection will continue to be protected - regardless of where they are sent. However, new files placed in the Hot Folder will not get protected until protection in the Hot Folder is resumed.
• Pausing protection on a Hot Folder is similar to deactivating it temporarily. The Hot Folder can be activated again at any time - and will continue to function as normal.
• When you remove a Hot Folder: - The actual folder does not get deleted. - The Seclore protection applied on the folder is permanently removed. Unlike pausing, you cannot resume the monitoring and protection of the files within the Hot Folder. - The files associated with the folder will no longer be monitored for Seclore protection. - The existing protected files within the Hot Folder will continue to be protected. The file owner (or a user with the - Full Control permission on the file) may manually unprotect the files if needed.

*When the protection in a Hot Folder is paused, new files placed in the Hot Folder will not get protected until protection in the Hot Folder is resumed. The existing protected files remain protected regardless of where they are sent.

*When you change the owner of a Hot Folder, the owner of all the files protected through that Hot Folder changes. The new owner should be mapped to the policy that is set for the Hot Folder.

*When a Hot Folder is removed, the actual folder does not get deleted, but Seclore protection applied on the folder is permanently removed. The existing protected files within the folder remain protected.
