# Preprocessors

Preprocessors are open processes that can execute all kinds of tasks geared towards readying up the objects for their definitive preservation.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: it is recommended, if any preprocessor is configured, that later on when we create the preservation plan we mark the ‘repeal changes’ option.
{% endhint %}

To configure preprocessors, we must select one from the available preprocessors list and, in most cases, fill out the value of the parameter requested.
