How you use it
Capture within Keptara when you can. If a file already exists, import it and keep its original. A copy used for a report is labelled as derived; provenance and Content Credentials signals can be shown when available.
Originals and media integrity
Keep original files separately, label imports clearly and surface provenance signals without making absolute truth claims.
What it does
- Distinguish captured from imported media
- Retain originals separately
- Create labeled derived copies
- Surface Content Credentials or provenance signals when available
A situation where this helps
Two photos look alike, but one was taken directly in Keptara and the other was exported from a chat. The record keeps that difference visible and retains the original file separately from presentation copies.
What the record cannot claim
Neither a timestamp, a credential, a hash nor an AI check alone determines whether a scene is true. Missing credentials do not mean an image is fake.
