# What is LIBSAFE Go

![](/files/pWGC6OJ6gLyNhnv8AaLw)

**LIBSAFE Go** is a **digital preservation platform** with advanced features that is really easy to use. It can be used as a cloud-based service or deployed on your own premises. It protects the content as soon as it is ingested, creating its integrity/fixity information and replicating it in multiple geo-dispersed, self-healing copies.

All this process is fully automated: users can drag and drop the content using their browser or upload it using their preferred file transfer tools and the platform takes care of performing the ingest.

The LIBSAFE Go **Active Screening Technology** allows you to automatically verify if the uploaded files contain malware (that may be harmful), obsolete formats (that you may be unable to open in the future) or duplicated content.

The original file/folder structure you upload is retained, organized in the same way you had it originally, but you can reorganize it inside the platform at any time later on, add metadata, search for your content and share it easily.

Advanced users can add their own processing workflows, including custom processes, that run the configured actions automatically (no matter how complex they are), and can even use Jupyter notebooks to automate renaming, metadata import/export or data analysis.

* The **CONCEPTS** section, to get used to the LIBSAFE Go terminology and architecture.
* The **GETTING STARTED** section, for a practical, hands-on introduction to the usual processes.
* The **CONFIGURATION** section, on how to create structures, policies, configure the system and permissions.
