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.
