Custom Content Configuration
The plugin uses the content processing capability of STageR to normalize the content that is stored in STageR, but the structure and data may be different depending on the source.
The content is processed by SharePointBCSMapping.js after the file is in the STageR's processing_modules directory and the storage unit has been configured to use it. For more information, go Configure Storage Unit.
Security Pre-Trimmer Installation
For the Security Pre-Trimmer installation go SharePoint 2013 Security Pre-Trimmer.
