Opening the Redactions Manager
Open Tools in the header and click Redactions in the bottom row.
Grouped View
By default, redactions are grouped by their text. Each row shows:
Text — the redacted word or phrase
Redactions — total count across the project
Files — how many files contain this redaction
Reason and comment — the exemption code you chose, shown as a chip, alongside any free-text note (click to edit)
Undo — removes every redaction of this text at once
Click a row to expand it and see the individual instances — which item it appeared in, when it was created, and its own comment. Long text can be expanded in place by clicking Show more.
Individual View
Click the list icon in the top-right to switch to a flat table where every redaction is its own row. This view includes checkbox selection for bulk removal, plus date and item columns.
Editing Comments
Click any comment cell to open an editor. Type your note, then press Enter to save or Escape to cancel.
On a grouped row, the comment is applied to all redactions of that word
On an expanded child row or in individual view, only that specific redaction is updated
Info: Editing the note does not strip the reason code from a redaction. When you edit a grouped row, every redaction in the group takes the new note while each one keeps its own code.
Searching and Sorting
Search — filter by redacted text, comment, item subject, or sender
Sort — click any column header to sort ascending or descending
Paginate — choose 25, 50, or 100 rows per page using the controls in the top-right
Removing Redactions
Single: click Undo on any row
Entire group: click Undo on a grouped row to remove all instances of that word
Bulk (individual view): check multiple rows, then click Remove N selected
Changes are reflected immediately in the email list, sidebar stats, and PDF viewer.
Exporting
Click the download icon in the title bar to export all redactions as a CSV file — useful for compliance records or audit trails. The CSV carries a dedicated Reason column alongside the comment, so the exemption claimed for each redaction is recorded separately from any free-text note.
