Using Redaction
After Administrators have set up redaction, WebApps Security Station (SS) or Content Review (CR) users have the ability to redact and/or remove preselected redacted content in a document for legal and security purposes.
Note: SS and CR users are not removing physical content from a document. They are determining whether to redact (obscure) or remove the redaction flag from preselected content.
Redaction types
-
Allow redaction – review preselected redacted content. SS and CR users can choose to redact or remove the redaction. Click to redact is the default.
-
Redact – review auto-redacted (obscured) content areas. SS and CR users cannot choose to remove redaction.
-
Suggest redaction – review preselected redacted content. SS and CR users can choose to remove or redact content. Click to remove is the default.
More about redaction
-
Redactions are automatically saved and do not require a manual save.
-
Selecting or removing redactions for all preselected content is not required. Identify exceptions and click to redact or remove.
-
Documents that are approved or rejected are processed with manual, automatic, and/or preselected redactions. Documents cannot be retrieved to modify the redactions after they have been submitted.
-
The redaction process may take awhile. The following message appears: “Options being applied. Please wait.”
