Use the functionality to protect confidential information and personal data before sharing Workflows with learners. This ensures that only relevant content is visible to learners during training. For example, blur profile pictures displayed on a Mirror Screen before publishing the Workflow, ensuring Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is not visible to your learners. > [!WARNING] > Note: > > - You can blur an image on a Mirror Screen only when the Workflow is in the **Draft** stage. Workflows in the **Ready** and **Production** stages do not appear in Whatfix Studio. > - Currently, you can blur only JPG and PNG image formats. Whatfix Mirror does not support blurring of background images. Expand the following accordions for more details: ****Blur an Image Before Screen Capture**** Whatfix enables you to blur images on your application before capturing a Mirror Screen.
