7Zip add encryption to files

7zip

I have a .7z archive that I manage using 7zFM (File Manager) and I can easily add objects to this archive. However the objects in the archive are encrypted with AES like I want them to be, but when I add something new I cannot seem to add encryption to that file within the archive unless I decrypt the entire archive, then recrypt it.

Is there an easy way to add encryption, or perhaps remove encryption, of specific files within a .7z archive?

Does 7-Zip have encryption?

7-Zip is a free file compression program that also allows you to encrypt and password protect the files you compress. You can compress multiple files into a single archive file. For someone to open an encrypted file created with 7-Zip that person will need to have 7-Zip or a compatible program.

How do I add security to a file?

Use encryption to password protect a folder or a fileRight-click on the item, click Properties, then click Advanced. Check Encrypt contents to secure data. Click OK, then click Apply. Windows then asks if you want to encrypt only the file or its parent folder and all the files within that as well.
