Safeguard via Triton Settings is an optional feature that must be configured in your publisher profile. Contact your Triton Digital Client Success Manager or Customer Support to enable safeguard. Safeguard operates on a per-station basis, so once enabled you must contact your CSM or Customer Support any time you want to add Safeguard to another station.

Safeguard Creation Tips
Use short but descriptive safeguard names to help you and your team easily identify safeguards when there are many in the list.
Do not use special characters or punctuation in safeguard names; only use numbers, letters, and spaces (both uppercase and lowercase are permitted).
Safeguard names cannot exceed 100 characters.
Safeguard audio files must not exceed 15 minutes duration.
Previewing and Downloading Safeguards
Once a safeguard audio file has been uploaded, you can preview the audio. You can also download the audio if you (or a colleague on your team) want to analyze the file in your preferred audio software.
The Play and Download options are available for MP3 and WAV audio files. Other formats only include the Download option.
Editing and Deleting Safeguards
Use a safeguard's options menu to delete the safeguard, or to open the Edit Safeguard panel, where you can change the safeguard name, Interruptible status, targeting, and safeguard audio.
