CertifyIPHow it works

Using a source folder

Last updated 19 Aug 2026

A watched (source) folder lets CertifyIP keep track of your work as you go, without adding files one at a time.

  1. Choose the folder when you create the project (step 2, Browse), or add one later from inside the project.
  2. Keep working in that folder as normal. CertifyIP watches it — including sub-folders — and compares each file against what's already been snapshotted.
  3. New and changed files appear as candidates in the snapshot composer. Select the ones you want and take a snapshot.

Watched projects show a green Watching indicator in the project list. You can still add individual files alongside a watched folder — see Logging individual files.
