Prepare workplace messages for a focused HR review.

Preserve the record without expanding the audience

Workplace chats may contain customer data, trade secrets, personal information, health details, or messages from people unrelated to the concern. Do not forward the whole channel to a personal account simply because it is convenient. Follow company policy and get instructions from HR, compliance, a union representative, or qualified counsel where appropriate.

Separate source, timeline, and observation

SourceThe selected message export, screenshot, or recording.
TimelineVisible dates, participants, responses, and follow-up events.
ObservationYour explanation of why a passage matters, kept outside the message text.

Check visual text recognition against the retained source. Do not silently change wording or attribute an unclear message to someone based only on assumption.

Use the organization’s process

TextTrace can make selected messages searchable and exportable; it does not investigate misconduct, decide credibility, preserve employer systems, or replace emergency, legal, union, or HR support. If there is an immediate safety risk, use the appropriate emergency or workplace safety process rather than focusing on document formatting.

Questions, answered precisely

Frequently asked questions

Can I export messages from a company device?

Authority and policy matter. Check your employer’s rules and obtain appropriate guidance before copying confidential, customer, or third-party information.

Does TextTrace report the issue to HR?

No. It helps organize selected material. You remain responsible for using the employer’s designated reporting and secure transfer process.
