Redactions

Redaction is the careful editing of a document to remove confidential information. Sensitive government documents, confidential legal documents, insurance contracts, and other sensitive documents are often redacted before being made available to the public.

Redactions makes it easy for you to mark sections of a document. You can then redact the document so that the sections you specified are blacked out or replaced with something else. You can either print the redacted document or use it electronically. In the redacted version of the document, the redacted text cannot be converted back to text or retrieved.

Documents produced as XML/TIFF and TXT/TIFF files in ZySCAN can be directly redacted. Electronic documents built directly into an index must first be converted to the TIFF format using the TIFF Conversion feature in ZyVIEW or Tiff-on-the-fly in the Web Client.
