Frequently asked questions
How is redaction different from a white-out box?
A white-out box only covers text that stays in the file. Redaction physically destroys the content under the box — it can't be copied or recovered.
What happens to the page after redaction?
The redacted page becomes an image, so its text is no longer selectable — this guarantees security.
