A redaction is a special kind of annotation used to hide confidential information on an image or text document. A redaction is a permanent black or white rectangle that obscures an area of the document.
Redactions can be created and saved on image documents, text documents, and Image Rendered PDFs that belong to Document Types configured to allow redactions.
A redaction cannot be deleted (or undone) once it has been saved. When a redaction is saved, the redacted document may be stored as a new document in another Document Type, as a revision of the current document, or as a replacement for the current document. How the redacted document is stored depends on your system's configuration.
If a note, redaction, burned markup, or deficiency is not in the location you expect, do not save or sign the document until the location has been corrected by your system administrator. When the document is saved or signed, the pending redaction, burned markup, or deficiency is permanently placed in the shifted location. The shifting of notes that do not permanently alter the document can be corrected any time by your system administrator.
You can apply and save redactions to a document if all of the following conditions are met:
-
You have sufficient privileges to modify the document.
-
The document's file type supports redactions. Only image and text files can be redacted.
-
The document's Document Type is configured to allow redactions.
