Redact

Redact is a document markup application used within an eDiscovery and legal review platform to apply redactions and highlights to imaged documents, PDF files, and spreadsheet files, either manually or through automated, rule-based projects.

Key features and functions include:

Rule-based automated markup
Users can build project rules around specific words, terms, or regular expressions so that matching content receives markups automatically across a document set, rather than relying solely on manual review.

Manual markup tools
Markups can be placed directly on native PDF and spreadsheet files, and on imaged documents, using tools built into the platform's document viewer.

Configurable markup sets
Administrators define markup sets that determine the style and type of markup applied by a project, allowing redaction and highlighting conventions to be standardized across a matter.

Multi-format file support
The application supports PDF files of any standard, as well as common spreadsheet formats including .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .xltm, .xlam, .xlsb, and .csv, with a 4 GB size limit per native file.

Quality control and review workflows
Built-in review tools allow users to accept or reject markups, flag documents for additional quality review, and lock documents from further changes once production-ready.

Production-ready search
Marked-up documents can be located through saved searches, supporting downstream production workflows.

Granular, role-based permissions
Access to PDF, spreadsheet, and image markup functions, as well as mass operations and markup set administration, is controlled separately through a defined set of user permissions.
