Anonymize to New Window

Use File → Anonymize to New Window (or Shift+Cmd+A) to sanitize sensitive payloads without losing shape, keys, or nesting.

How the flow works

Section titled “How the flow works”
  1. Start with valid JSON in the main editor.
  2. Open the anonymize modal from the File menu.
  3. Configure options:
    • Preserve properties (leave fields untouched)
    • Linked properties (same fake value across occurrences)
    • Fuzz numbers (optional)
    • Seed (optional deterministic output)
  4. Click Anonymize To New Window.
Anonymize modal configured with preserve/linked keys and seed

A new window opens with anonymized JSON content so your original payload remains unchanged.

Practical tips

Section titled “Practical tips”
  • Put timestamps (like createdAt) in Preserve properties when you need realistic timelines in examples.
  • Put identifiers/emails in Linked properties when repeated references should stay internally consistent.
  • Use a fixed Seed when you want stable docs or test fixtures across runs.
