Secure Sharing of Confidential Data in .MPP Files
The application is designed to give project managers the ability to remove or anonymize data inside .mpp files.
Users are able to remove or anonymize data values of project categories such as:
- The cost rates for a work resource;
- The name of work resources;
- The work progress.
How Does Project
Cleaner
Work ?
When “cleaning” .mpp files, ProjectCleaner creates a copy of the original project plan and all the modification performed to the file are saved in a new filtered .mpp file, ready to be shared with project teams and external stakeholders.
This approach ensures that the project plan’s integrity is kept and provides a solution to the major security and privacy concerns when sensitive data is being shared in the .MPP file format.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MPP file format in project management?
The MPP file format is the standard file extension used by Microsoft Project to store project plans, timelines, and resource data.
These files are regularly shared between project teams and external stakeholders to communicate scheduling expectations and progress.
Why should I clean or anonymize an MPP file before sharing?
Standard MPP files often contain confidential business information, such as internal labor costs, work rates, and sensitive resource names. Cleaning or anonymizing these files addresses major privacy concerns and ensures that external clients only see the data you intend to share.
What specific data can be removed from an MPP project plan?
ProjectCleaner allows you to selectively scrub several categories of confidential information directly from your project plans. You can easily remove or anonymize the cost rates for a work resource, the specific names of your work resources, and detailed work progress data.
Do I need Microsoft Project to clean an MPP file?
Yes, Microsoft Project is required because the cleaner functions directly as an add-in for the Microsoft Project application. Once installed, it allows you to filter out sensitive data and save a clean copy of your .MPP file directly from within the software's native interface.
