Documentation

This documentation explains how verstag verifies the provenance of images and videos, labels AI content, and makes both defensible — from your first access right through to reading a verification result. It is written for anyone who works with folders, whatever their role in the workspace.

The signed-in product is in German — every menu, every button, every message. This documentation is in English and describes that German product, so it names each element the way the screen does.

The convention is the same on every page. A German string stands in German quotation marks and its English rendering follows in italics: „Prüfen“ (Verify). Longer messages stand in a block of their own, with the English underneath. The German is what you look for and what you click; the italics are only there so you know what you are looking at. On Looking up a message that goes one step further: every heading there is a German message verbatim, because that is what somebody looking one up has in front of them.

Where to start

• Accepting an invitation — the way in. Access is granted, not applied for; the invitation page knows seven states, and the seventh is a way out that almost everybody overlooks.
• Your first labelled output — from the file to the signed result, in one pass. The only tutorial in this documentation.
• Reading a result — the three outcomes of a check. The same file is named one way on the result card and another on its tile; both wordings stand side by side there.
• Looking up a message — for when a sentence is on the screen and what it means is not obvious.

The sections

The four middle ones are the four entries of the product's own sidebar, in the same order.

• Getting started — what verstag does and what it expressly does not, the way in, and the six words everything else builds on.
• Verification — what verstag reads out of a file: the result and its wordings, the notice severities, and the provenance chain.
• Library — uploading, finding things again, folders and the trash — and the editor, where labelled outputs are made.
• Batch processing — many outputs in one pass: the wizard, the contact sheet, and the way back to a running batch.
• Settings — the ten administration areas, each with its own page. Owners and admins only.
• My account — display name, password, two-factor, timezone — and switching between workspaces.
• Content Credentials — what the manifest records, who signs it, and what it does not contain.
• Help — the messages verbatim, the product's limits, the requirements on browser and file formats, and the glossary.
