What does it mean for a file to be "corrupted" in the context of Qlik Sense?

In the context of Qlik Sense, a file being described as "corrupted" signifies that it contains bugs or manipulation issues, which may prevent it from being opened or read correctly by the application. This corruption can result from various factors, such as improper file transfers or unexpected interruptions during data handling, which ultimately compromise the integrity of the file's structure or content. When a file is corrupted, it can lead to errors in data visualization or analysis, affecting the reliability of insights derived from it.

Assessing the other options provides clarity on why they do not define a corrupted file accurately. A file that has been successfully backed up does not imply any corruption, as backups are intended to preserve the original file's state. Similarly, a file that has been encrypted for security purposes remains intact and usable as long as the encryption key is available; this does not characterize corruption. Lastly, having too many revisions may complicate file management but does not necessarily corrupt the file itself. Thus, the definition of corruption specifically relates to the presence of bugs or manipulation that undermine the file's functionality.
