FAQs

Can I un-do the un-redaction?

No once this action has been confirmed it's not possible to un-do this.

Does the original document have to be in the room to perform un-redaction?

No. We've recently updated the logic so that un-redaction can be performed independently, without requiring the original document to remain in the room.

Does 'Add to Manage Documents' add to the data gauge?

Yes. Adding unredacted documents back to Manage Documents/Document Index works the same way as copying a document and will count towards the room's data storage.

Can I bulk edit only certain areas of a redacted file?

Bulk editing is not possible, only bulk un-redacting in full is possible. If you'd like to edit you'll need to do this individually for each file and select which areas you'd like to redact.
