# Importing Local Offline Files and Protected Pages

### **Importing Local Offline Files**

You can audit offline files without making live server requests. This is perfect for analyzing archived pages, competitive snapshots, or documents handed off by developers.

**How to use it:** Use the File menu to import an HTML, TXT, or DOCX file directly into a new tab. The platform analyzes them with the same semantic depth as live web pages.

### **Staging Environment Audit (Privacy-First)**

Need to analyze a test server prior to release? SEO Page Auditor can work with basic HTTP-authenticated environments, including many staging and password-protected test pages. The platform can bypass basic HTTP authentication using your OS's secure credential store.

Because SEO Page Auditor is a desktop application, your data never leaks to third-party cloud services.

**Important Note on Authentication:** If the environment depends on custom authentication layers, captchas, or non-standard access logic, additional limitations may apply.
