Redact a document in Review

You can apply redactions only to the image version of a document. Redactions may cover specific areas or entire pages. You can also add a redaction comment to provide more context.

When you select redaction options such as fill type, fill color, or background color, the system retains these settings as your default setting until the session ends.

To configure redaction labels that appear in the Reasons menu during redaction in Inspect or Review, use the Project Settings.
