Redaction
Redaction is used to obscure privileged information so that this information does not show up in productions.
Documents can be redacted at any time. You can mark documents that need to be redacted.
The redactups (redaction markups) are not inserted in the document but overlaid on the respective document. They can be added or removed at any point in time, and can be different in different productions. Changes to redactions do not change existing production images.
Redactions are transparent in the document viewer’s Redaction view so that you can view the obscured part of a document during review. The text in small redaction is automatically highlighted, too. For large redactions, this is optional.
Redactions are automatically saved when you leave the Review or Analysis page, log out, or when a pre-defined cache size (approximately five redacted documents) is reached.
Except for area and page redactions, redactions automatically obscure all identical occurrences of a redacted word or number.
You can add a redaction reason, such as Confidential or Privileged to any redaction, and specify a specific color for a redaction.
Redactions are searchable. You can search for documents with redactions by using these Smart Filters:
- Redaction
- Redaction reasons
- Redaction colors
In the right-hand pane of the document viewer, you can search for single redactions.
