+## Handling Protected files in the configuration
+
+For files that contain any sensitive data, you can mark them as protected. You cannot access the file contents of a protected file saved to the NGINX configuration, but you can view its metadata. The input for protected files takes a comma-separated list of file paths relative to nginx-config-directory-path that should be marked as protected.
