Users can choose whether to show the Compelson MOBILedit logos in the report.

The temporary folder location is set to “C:\Users\[user]\Documents\MOBILedit Forensic” by default, although it can be changed. The temporary folder is crucial for extraction and analysis, and during the process, it can match the size of data extracted from the device. For this reason, if the storage location is changed, it should always be on a locally installed SSD for faster read/write speeds.

If a process has failed or MOBILedit crashes, the temporary folder should contain files from the last executed process. For example, when performing Smart screenshots, and the process does not complete, the screenshots will still be located in the temporary folder until MOBILedit Forensic is restarted. The temporary folder is cleared upon every launch.

Investigator details

When details are entered in the available fields, they are saved long-term until deleted or changed in “Settings”. The entered information will be retained and included in the report output, and can be temporarily overwritten at the Specify report details stage, without removing them from persistent settings.
It is possible to add an individual photo or logo.
