How it works

  1. Select a supported checksum file and keep the referenced files beside it.
  2. Press Alt + Space and type “Verify Checksums”.
  3. Select a .sha256 or .sha512 file and choose a summary or a new text report. A matching checksum alone does not establish that a file is safe or trusted.
  4. Start the action and check the result.

A practical example

Check whether files changed during a copy or transfer.
