# Encrypting Data

All encryption processes for the current Data Protection project are tabulated in the Main pane. You can encrypt one or multiple entries.

A yellow color code next to a data entry indicates that the entry is ready for the encryption process.

To encrypt a single data entry:

>Right-click an entry for the file that is to be encrypted in the Main pane, and select Encrypt Selected. The entry must have a yellow color code.

A bar in the Progress column indicates the progress of the encryption process. The color code changes from yellow to blue, and then to green when the process is complete.

The data file is encrypted and the output file is located in the specified file.

To encrypt multiple entries simultaneously:

>Right-click in the Main pane and select Encrypt All.

A bar in the Progress column indicates the progress of the encryption process. The color code changes from yellow to blue, and then to green when the process is complete.

The data files are encrypted and the output file is located in the specified file.
