Getting Started

Create and customize session document files that you can deploy to users. Change Specific Session Settings
Create and deploy update files to apply specific settings in session document files without changing other settings. Protect Data
Set up Reflection to add trusted locations, redact sensitive data (such as credit cared numbers), and control access to the Reflection API. Set up Information Privacy
Set up information privacy features that are designed to help you comply with industry and government regulations, like Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) that address data protection concerns. Customize the Workspace
Customize the workspace to change the appearance and basic functionality of the main Reflection window and to control access to controls and settings. Package Configuration Files
Create an MSI package to install custom files you created when you customized the Reflection sessions or the Reflection workspace. Modify the Installation
